Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Wembury's got cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it's a bit of a flat spell to kick things off. We're looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions lasting from Monday the 6th of July all the way through to Monday the 20th of July. Swell energy is weak, barely hitting double digits most days, with tiny 0.7ft to 1.0ft slop. Not much to get excited about at all.

There are a few brief moments when the wind lays down, like Wednesday the 8th of July afternoon when it goes glassy, or a few clean mornings with light offshore winds – but with that tiny 0.7ft to 1.0ft swell, it's still not going to break properly. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.

We do finally get a pulse of energy on the 21st of July, Tuesday morning. That's the first real standout. Swell picks up to 3ft from the WSW with a 6-second period, and we've got a gentle offshore wind from the NNW. The combined energy climbs to 60 (moderate). It's still only a marginal call, but for this spot it's the best on offer. Wembury is a point break, so it can handle a bit of period when it finally shows.

No other break to mention in this forecast – Wembury is the only one in the game here. If you've been waiting, that Tuesday morning on the 21st is your window. It's not going to be epic, but it's surfable and clean.

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.
