Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer here at Wembury over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – this isn’t looking like a memorable run. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for any kind of decent surf. We’ve got a long gap right from the start, and it’s going to be a tough one.

The first day we see a wave on the cards is Friday the 3rd of July, but even then, it’s not good. We’re looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak, sitting at just 85. On top of that, the wind is onshore and light, making for poor, messy conditions. That pattern just keeps going.

Through Saturday the 4th and Sunday the 5th, the swell drops even more, down to 1ft and 1ft. The wind does go cross-offshore at times, which cleans it up, but with energy figures of 55 or lower, there’s just nothing there to ride. It’s a flat spell.

Then from Monday the 6th right through to Tuesday the 14th of July, it’s a proper drought. For days and days the swell stays tiny, often below 1ft, with energy figures mostly in the single digits or low teens. There’s a bit of a tease on Monday the 13th of July, when the swell nudges up to 2ft from the WSW, with a period of 12 seconds and a combined energy of 138. That’s moderate energy, and the wind is cross-offshore and clean. But the forecast still calls it poor surf conditions, and with the water temperature anomaly being neutral, it’s just not enough to get excited about.

The last few days, from Wednesday the 15th through to Saturday the 18th of July, we’re back to tiny, weak waves with onshore or cross-onshore winds. The setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest. You’re not going to get a wave worth paddling for here.

So to sum it up: if you’re hanging out for a surf at Wembury, you’re out of luck for the next two weeks. The breaks are inconsistent at the best of times, and this blank run is a bit harsh, but it happens. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing on the horizon worth chasing.

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.
