Alright, I’m going to level with you. For Kimmeridge Bay, the next couple weeks are about as dead as I can remember. From the 4th of July through to the 19th of July, there’s not a single session worth wetting a wetsuit for. We’re talking two full weeks and then some.
Kimmeridge is a reef break, intermediate friendly, and normally very consistent, but this stretch is just flat and messy. Water temp is about what you’d expect for July—nothing unusual there. But every single day gets a big fat zero score for surf.
There is a little bump around the 11th of July, with the combined swell energy hitting 102 in the morning and 137 in the afternoon—so there’s some juice out there—but the swell height is only 1 to 2 feet coming from the east with a real short period of 6 seconds. That’s all chop and crumble, with cross-onshore winds making it even worse.
Other than that, it’s all tiny 0.3 foot waves or less, and when there’s any size at all, the wind’s on it hard—gusting up to 35 mph from the east at times. There’s no hidden gem in this window. Not one.
If you’re a regular at Kimmeridge, just leave the quiver in the shed. This is one of those runs where the ocean goes silent. Could always change, but right now there’s nothing doing.

Information about the Kimmeridge Bay Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Kimmeridge Bay provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Kimmeridge Bay can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Kimmeridge Bay surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Kimmeridge Bay) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Kimmeridge Bay may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
