Alright, grab your cuppa, let’s take a look at what’s on the cards for our local patch.
To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim. We’re staring down the barrel of a proper flat spell. From now, right through until the morning of Sunday, July 19th, it’s a write-off. Nearly two full weeks of tiny, weak, and mostly messy conditions at Kimmeridge Bay. The energy just isn’t there. You’ll see a lot of zeros and ones, with combined energy figures barely scraping into double digits – reading a measly `3` to `57` at best. Basically, leave the board in the shed.
There is a small glimmer of hope, though. It’s a long way off, but we finally get something a bit more interesting on the morning of Sunday, July 19th. We’ll see a clean, glassy morning with a tiny pulse of east swell pushing about `4ft`. The period is a short `6 seconds`, so it won’t have much grunt, but with that glassy surface, it’s at least surfable. This is likely your only real chance for a paddle in the whole 16 days. But honestly, don’t get your hopes up. It’s an inconsistent little blip in a sea of flatness. Realistically, for most of this run, you’d get more excitement watching the tide come in.
Keep the wax dry, lads. It’s a tough one.

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.
Kimmeridge Bay is 18 km (11 miles) from the city of Poole. If you plan a holiday in South Coast of England, look for hotels and other accommodation in Poole. Poole has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
