The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaking.
Right now, we’re staring down a pretty bleak run for Wembury. The forecast is showing a whole lot of nothing for the next week and a half. We’ve got a gap here from now all the way through to the end of July with no real swell to speak of. The water is sitting at 66°, which is a solid 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a real standout, feeling much warmer than normal for a dip.
Things start to look a bit more interesting as we head into the first week of August. The first real chance of a wave comes on the morning of Sunday, 2nd August. We’ll see a 4ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (179). The wind is set to be light and onshore from the S, which isn’t ideal, but it’s a start.
The pick of the whole period, if you can get out on a weekday, looks like Monday afternoon, 3rd August. The swell picks up to 5ft from the SW, with the combined energy really kicking in at a strong 319. The period is 7 seconds, so it’s a bit short and messy, but it’s the most energy we’ll see. The wind is onshore from the SSW, so it’s not going to be glassy, but for Wembury, that’s our best bet for some waves you can actually ride. It’s a point break here, so it’ll handle that swell direction better than a beach. The paddle out should be easier with that short period.
Tuesday afternoon, 4th August, is another solid option with a 4ft swell from the SW, moderate energy (270), and a 9-second period. The wind is cross-onshore from the SE, which will keep it a little bumpy but rideable.
Honestly, if you’re a beginner, the 5ft on Monday is getting close to the top end of your comfort zone. For the experts, there’s nothing here that’s really gonna get the heart pumping. It’s a long wait for some mediocre surf, but it’s all we’ve got on the menu.
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.
