The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s see what we’ve got for the next couple of weeks.
First off, the water’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, sittin’ around 65° at the get-go, which is a nice little bonus. But the surf? Mate, it’s a long, quiet stretch ahead. We’re lookin’ at a solid nine days with pretty much nothing worth paddling out for. It’s gonna be a bit of a grind.
The first whisper of something happens on Friday the 11th morning. Wembury (a point break) gets a little bump of 3ft from the WSW, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is a clean, light cross-offshore from the NW, so the surface will be nice and tidy. The combined swell energy is moderate (154), but it’s just not enough to get excited about – it’s surfable but very ordinary. The afternoon stays small and cross-shore.
The rest of that week and into the next is a write-off – tiny, weak, and mostly onshore or choppy. You’ll see a few clean moments on Sunday the 13th morning with a 3ft WSW swell and a better 10-second period, giving a moderate energy (176), but the size just isn’t there to make it a standout.
The real, and only, highlight comes on Wednesday the 16th morning. Wembury gets a clean 3ft swell from the WSW, period 10 seconds, and the wind is a proper offshore from the NNW at 15 mph. The energy is moderate (169), and the conditions will be clean. It’s the best wave of the entire forecast, but it’s still a small, fun-sized wave – not a day for the big guns. It’s a consistent spot, but with this size, it’s more for logging or a small single fin.
After that, it’s back to tiny, weak, and mostly messy through to the end of the window. There’s a sneaky clean morning on the 22nd with a 0.7ft, 12-second swell, but it’s barely a ripple. The 23rd morning has a clean 1ft, 14-second groundswell from the NW, but again, it’s tiny. The 24th morning sees a small 3ft, 5-second windswell, but the period is too short to hold much shape.
Honestly, for the next 16 days, the only morning that’s truly worth a look is Wednesday the 16th. It’s not a classic, but it’s the cleanest and most surfable we’ll get. The rest of the time, you’re better off checking the tides for a walk or cleaning the wax off your boards.
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.
