Alright, grab a coffee mate, because this is going to be a short one. To be brutally honest, Wembury is looking flat as a pancake for the next two weeks. We’ve got a massive gap of practically nothing on offer right from the start of July all the way through until Friday the 17th. You’ll be staring at a whole lot of small, mostly wind-battered dribble, and honestly, most of it isn't even worth paddling out for.

Straight off the bat, the water is sitting at about 63°, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year, so that’s at least one nice thing for a dip, though not for surfing.

The only flicker of life we see is on Friday, July 17th, during the morning. The swell bumps up to a tiny 2 ft from the West with a 10-second period, giving us a weak combined energy of just 60. But, here’s the kicker – we’ve got a light offshore wind from the NNW, around 9 mph. That’s going to be glassy clean. It’s not going to be big, and it won’t be epic, but it’s the only window where you might get a few clean, ankle-to-knee-high sliders on the point. The catch? Wembury is already an inconsistent spot, so don't hold your breath for a set wave to come through.

Following that, Saturday the 18th of July shows a tiny bit more push. The morning session sees 3 ft from the WSW with glassy conditions and energy creeping up to 116. The afternoon gets a bump to 3 ft with energy at 162, but the wind swings onshore from the SSW at 9 mph, mucking it up.

In the end, this is a bleak outlook. For a spot that's already inconsistent, this two-week stretch is pretty normal for a flat spell. Don't buy a new board wax just yet. The setup is so small and weak that it looks more interesting for a light-wind kite session than a paddle. You're better off waiting until a proper low comes through. The forecasts can always change, but right now? I'd find another hobby for a fortnight.

Stay patient,
Rusty

Information about the Wembury Surf forecast

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

Wembury is 9 km (6 miles) from the city of Plymouth. If you plan a holiday in South Devon, look for hotels and other accommodation in Plymouth. Plymouth has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
