The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. The next couple of days are a total write-off for Wembury. We've got some real nasty winds and messy conditions to sit through first.
The weekend is a bit of a bust, to be honest. Saturday the 29th is a non-starter with a near gale cross-onshore and big, blown-out slop pushing 10.0ft. The wave energy is massive (1508), but it's just a washing machine. Sunday the 30th is more of the same with a moderate to fresh cross-onshore and lumpy conditions. We need to wait until Monday the 31st for a real change.
That's our standout window. Monday morning is looking like the pick of the whole period. We've got a clean, 8.2ft WSW groundswell with a 9-second period, and a cross-offshore breeze from the WNW. The combined energy is strong at 1584, so there's plenty of grunt. The wind is a fresh breeze but it's coming off the land, so those waves will be holding up nicely. It might get a bit chunky for beginners at that size, but for anyone with a bit of experience, this is the day to be in the water. The afternoon stays clean with 6.6ft waves and a moderate cross-off.
After that, it drops right off. Tuesday the 1st of September is tiny and choppy. We go through a long flat spell with hardly anything rideable. There's a brief flicker on Saturday the 5th of September in the afternoon, with glassy 3.3ft waves, but it's very ordinary. The following Monday the 7th of September shows some potential with a 3.6ft WSW swell and a fresh offshore wind from the north, but it's a marginal call. The rest of the second week into mid-September is mostly small, wind-affected, or just flat, with wave energy barely ticking over. There's one more glassy moment on Saturday the 12th of September in the morning with 2.6ft waves, but it's hardly worth getting excited about. So, to wrap it up: your only real shot at something decent is Monday the 31st of August. Get on it.

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.
