Alright, grab a coffee, mate, let’s talk about Kimmeridge Bay.
Honestly, it’s a grim picture for the next couple of weeks. We’re looking at a long, flat stretch. From the start of July right through to the 11th, it’s all tiny, weak, and messy. The water is sitting around 64°F, which is much warmer than usual for the season, so at least you won’t be shivering, but that’s the only good news.
The first real chance of a wave shows up on Saturday morning, July 12th. There’s a small 3ft swell from the east, but the catch is it’s got a period of just 5 seconds. That’s short-period windswell, so it’ll be weak and crumbly. The wind is cross-off from the northeast, keeping the surface clean, and the combined energy is 48. It’s not a standout, but it’s the best we’ve had. Later in the day the wind turns cross-shore, so the window is small.
The most promising day in this dull period is Saturday, July 18th. The morning brings the biggest swell of the forecast, a 3ft wave from the west-southwest. The period is still a short 5 seconds, but the combined energy jumps to 64, the highest reading we see. With a cross-shore east-southeast breeze, it won’t be perfect, but it’s the cleanest and most energetic option we have. The break is a reef setup, which works better than a beach for this kind of swell.
After the 19th, it all drops back to tiny, weak waves and onshore winds messing them up. Nothing worth getting wet for.
So bottom line – don’t expect much. The 18th is your best chance for a little session, but don’t get your hopes up. It’s just one of those flat spells this coast hands out.

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.
