The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. It’s a tough one to call for Kimmeridge Bay. Looking at the whole 16-day window, I gotta be straight with you: there’s hardly a session worth paddling out for. The pattern is pretty grim, with long stretches of no real swell, and when there is a tiny bump, the wind is usually rubbish.
Right now, it’s all flat. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t show up until late in the period. We’ve got a massive gap of quiet days ahead.
The only time I’d even point my truck in that direction is the morning of Sunday, August 9th. Even then, it’s not a classic. We’re looking at a 4ft swell from the WSW with a period of 8 seconds, giving us a moderate wave energy of 153. The wind is light from the NW, making it clean. It’s a reef break, and with that period, it should hold up better than a beach. But don’t get too excited – the forecast says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It’s a small wave, the score is barely a 1 out of 10, so keep your expectations on the floor. The water is a balmy 67°F, which is a massive 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year – very unusual.
The rest of the period is a write-off. You’ll see a few pulses of energy, like the 5ft and 7ft swells on Sunday, August 2nd, but those are accompanied by strong 19 mph onshore winds, making it a lumpy, choppy mess. That’s more of a kite session than a surf. For a break that’s usually very consistent, this is a real dry spell. It’s a blank run, plain and simple.
Stay patient, lads. Things can change, but for now, save your energy.
Rusty.

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.
