The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Wembury over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, it’s a grim start. We’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands. The first proper chance to even think about a paddle isn’t until Tuesday, the 8th of September, and even then, it’s a marginal call. The overall pattern is one of long, flat spells and short-lived, small windows. There’s a big gap of nothing from the 9th right through to the 11th, and then another lull from the 12th until the 13th. It’s going to feel like a long wait.
The standout, and really the only window worth marking on the calendar, is the Tuesday morning (8th September) session at Wembury (point) . We’ve got a clean 3ft of WSW groundswell, with a moderate 10-second period, and the wind is blowing straight offshore from the NNW. That’s a recipe for clean, lined-up waves. The water is sitting at 65°F, which is a solid 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so the water temp anomaly is a nice bonus. The combined energy is moderate (210), so you’ll feel some push. It’s a point break, so that medium-period groundswell should wrap in nicely. Keep in mind, this spot is inconsistent and can get crowded often, so get in early for the best of it.
After that, it’s a case of picking through the scraps. The Friday morning (11th September) session is the next best bet, with a smaller 3ft swell from the WSW, but the wind is a light cross-off from the NW, keeping things clean. The energy is weaker (151), so it’s a small, mushy wave. The Sunday afternoon (13th September) has a bit more size at 4ft from the W, and a 10-second period, with a clean cross-off breeze. The energy is back up to moderate (376), but it’s a ticklish tide-dependent spot, so it’s a gamble.
Everything else through the second week is a write-off. Swell drops to 1ft and below, winds are onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy is pitiful. From the 14th of September onward, it’s flat and messy. You’d be better off doing something else. The forecast confidence is high for the near-term, so what you see is what you get, and right now, it’s not much.
Signing off, 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.
