The Lowdown
Alright, grab your boards, this is Rusty.
Right then, lookin' at the charts for Wembury, it's gonna be a bit of a rough start to the fortnight, with a whole lot of nothing worthwhile out there. You're looking at a solid gap of poor conditions from Tuesday the 1st of September all the way through to the middle of the second week. There's a good stretch of no-go days there, so don't bother getting your hopes up early.
The one day that really stands out is the 11th of September, Friday morning. It's not going to be huge, but it's the best we've got. We're talkin' a little 2.6ft swell coming from the WSW, but the wind is a light offshore from the North at just 6 mph. That offshore breeze is gonna make the waves at Wembury this point break clean as a whistle. The swell energy is weak (82), but with that offshore wind, the wave quality will be a whole lot better than the rest of this forecast. It'll be small and clean for a quiet session. The water is sitting at 65.8°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might get away with just a spring suit.
Thursday the 10th of September morning is a bit of a wildcard, and one for the experts only. There's a jump in size with 6.9ft swell from the WSW, but the combined energy is strong (885). The problem is the wind is a strong cross-shore at 19 mph, making it lumpy. That’s a powerful, messy day that only the brave should tackle. It's more of a kite-surfing setup if anything.
Later in the period, around Monday the 14th of September morning, there's another pulse of swell—7.2ft from the SW with moderate combined energy (544). But again, the light cross-onshore wind will have it looking a bit choppy, so it's hardly a standout.
So really, for the average punter, everything after the 1st is a write-off until that Friday morning on the 11th. Mark it in the diary. The rest of the days are either tiny, onshore, or blown out. Keep your eyes peeled for that Friday, though. That's your window.
Later, you lot.

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.
