The Lowdown
Alright folks, let's talk Wembury. The short version is, we've got a whole lot of nothing for a while. The first real stretch of the window is just flat and messy, with the wind messing up whatever tiny dribble of swell is out there. From Wednesday through to the following Tuesday, it's gonna be a grind. Friday the 11th is technically surfable, but you'd be scratching for a close-out, so probably not worth the hassle.
The standout is Wednesday the 16th. The wind is finally blowing offshore, and there's some real push in the water. Swell is hitting around 6ft with a WSW direction, and the energy is strong. This one's got some grunt to it, so it’s for the experienced surfers only—this size is not for beginners. It'll be proper.
The weekend of the 14th and 15th? Just forget it. Small, chopped up, onshore junk. Not getting out of bed for that.
Once that pulse goes through on the 16th, it fades out again. The rest of that week and into early the next week is small and soupy. There's a bit of a lift on Sunday the 20th, but the onshore wind will have it all messy.
One nice thing: the water is much warmer than usual for late summer, which is always a bonus.
So the call is simple—mark your calendar for Wednesday the 16th if you can handle it. Otherwise, it's a waiting game. It never stays flat forever, so keep the faith.

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.
