Alright folks, let’s call a spade a spade. This doesn't look good for Lynmouth. I’m looking at the next couple of weeks, and honestly, it’s going to be a real test of patience.
We're staring down a long, flat spell from Tuesday the 7th all the way through to Wednesday the 22nd of July. The wave energy is just not there. The combined swell energy numbers are mostly in the 20s and 30s (the highest we see is 32), which is weak. It's going to be small and frustrating.
There are a couple of fleeting moments, like the morning of Thursday the 9th. The wind goes glassy, and we get a 1ft swell from the west with a 10-second period. That period means it’s got a decent shape, but the size is just too tiny to make anything of it. It’s a moment of tranquillity but not a moment for surfing.
Later on, around the 16th, we get a clean cross-offshore breeze from the SSE and a 2ft bump from the ENE, but that swell period is only 4 seconds – way too short for any power. The combined swell energy is only 19. It’ll look clean, but it’ll feel gutless.
And then it drops off a cliff. From the 20th onwards, we’re looking at ankle-biters. Energy values drop into single digits. It’s a full-on flat spell.
This is one of those times when you just have to accept it. Lynmouth can be like this. Keep an eye on the charts, because things can change, but for now, the forecast is a big, fat zero for surf.

Information about the Lynmouth Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Lynmouth provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lynmouth can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lynmouth 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 (Lynmouth) 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 Lynmouth 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.
