Table - best surf conditions forecast for Lynmouth over the next 16 days.
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Lynmouth over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim run for the foreseeable future. This is a real drought for waves. The first decent surf recommendation doesn’t appear until Friday the 24th of July, and even then it’s a bit of a stretch. So we’re looking at a gap of about 11 days with nothing worth paddling out for.
The stand-out window, if you can call it that, is around Friday the 24th of July. The swell bumps up to about 4ft from the west with a period of 7 seconds. The combined wave energy is moderate, hitting 123. It’s not a classic, but it’s the biggest we’ve seen. The wind is a moderate cross-shore, which will keep it choppy, so it’s not going to be a picture-perfect session. For a spot that’s sheltered and inconsistent, this is the best we’re going to get, but it’s really only for those who are desperate for a paddle.
The water temperature is 64°, which is a massive 5° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s very unusual, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.
For the rest of the period, it’s a whole lot of nothing. Tiny, weak 0.7ft or 1.0ft swells with cross-shore winds or onshore breezes. The energy values are all in the single digits or low teens, which is barely a ripple. There’s a brief moment of glassy conditions on Wednesday the 15th of July, but with only 0.7ft of swell, it’s not worth the drive. Given the lack of decent swell and the persistent cross-shore winds, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the forecasts. It tends not to stay this poor for long.

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.
