Alright crew, Rusty here. Let's break down what Kimmeridge Bay is looking like for the next couple of weeks. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it – it’s a lean patch for us.
The first week, from Friday the 10th right through to the end of the following week, is a total flat spell. The swell is tiny, wave energy is weak, and the conditions are poor overall. You’ll see heaps of days with barely a ripple, mixed with windy, messy cross-shore chop that’s no good for surfing. The water temp is running at 65° – that’s a whopping 5° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s very unusual, but the surf is nowhere to be found to enjoy it.
There’s a little pulse of life around Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd. We get some WSW swell pushing in around 4ft to 5ft. The combined swell energy gets into moderate territory (111 to 129), which is something. But the wind is coming cross-shore from the ESE, kicking up a lumpy cross-chop. It’s not clean, and with the swell period sitting at 6 seconds, it’s short-period windswell. For the die-hards on a log or a funboard, it might be a workable gutless session, but it’s not a standout.
After that, the energy drops right off again into the 24th and 25th with onshore winds and more messy waves. Honestly, this whole 16-day run looks better for a coastal walk than a surf.
The only saving grace is a few mornings with clean, offshore or cross-offshore winds, but with no swell to match, that glassy water is just a cruel joke.
So, for this stretch, there’s no break worth highlighting. It’s a blank run for Kimmeridge Bay. That’s the nature of the spot sometimes – it can be very temperamental.
Keep an eye on the charts, things can always shift.
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.
