The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty bleak for a proper paddle. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, weak, and choppy conditions, so don't get your hopes up for any heroics. The first real chance to even think about getting wet doesn’t come until Monday the 3rd of August, and even then it’s a real struggle.
We’re looking at Wembury, a point break that’s exposed to a SW swell. The vibe here is a classic beginner-friendly spot, but it’s inconsistent and when it’s not working, it’s really not working. For the first few days, from Thursday the 30th of July right through the weekend, it’s a total write-off. We’re talking tiny windswell, no energy, and the combined energy is barely registering. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
The best we’ve got on offer is Monday morning, the 3rd of August. The swell nudges up to 2ft from the WSW, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is a light, clean cross-off from the NE, which is a major positive. The combined energy hits a moderate level. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. You’ll be on a longboard, fighting for scraps, but it’s clean. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and it’s back to choppy mess.
After that Monday, it’s a desert. The rest of the first week and the entire second week are a flat, wind-affected nightmare. The combined energy drops back to weak levels, and the swell is a pathetic 0.3ft to 1ft at best. The wind is often clean, but there’s nothing to ride. It’s a crucial time to be honest: this is a classic blank run for this area. We’re looking at a gap of over a week with no real recommendations after that Monday.
So, the one and only standout is Wembury on Monday morning, the 3rd of August. It’s a tiny, clean, beginner wave. For everyone else, it’s a time to clean the wax off your board and wait for the next system.
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.
