Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Wembury has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a lean stretch. The forecast is showing a real flat spell, so don’t expect any fireworks.

Looking at the whole picture, we’ve got a long run of tiny, weak swell and mostly messy or side-shore winds. The wave energy sits in the doldrums, barely registering (combined energy values between 7 and 57), which tells you there’s just no punch out there. For the first week, we’re looking at waves mostly between 0.7 ft and 2 ft, with periods around 9-10 seconds. That’s not going to do much for a point break like Wembury that needs a decent swell to really work. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

Saturday the 4th of July kicks things off with a 2 ft swell from the west, but it’s a cross-off wind from the WNW at 12 mph, so it’s clean but tiny. Wave energy is weak at 57. Honestly, it’s a longboard or maybe a SUP session if you’re desperate for a paddle. That theme carries on through Sunday and Monday – same story, small, clean but small. By Monday afternoon, the swell drops to 1.0 ft and the wind swings cross-shore, making it a bit choppy.

Tuesday the 7th of July is more of the same: morning glass with 1.0 ft from the west, energy down to 17. It’s clean, but you’ll be hunting for anything to ride.

We hit a real low point from Wednesday the 8th through to Friday the 10th – the swell barely hits 0.7 ft, and the wind goes cross-on or strong cross-shore. Friday afternoon actually shows a 2 ft spike, but it’s from the east with only a 3-second period, which is just wind chop and messy with a 25 mph cross-wind. That’s closer to a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing one. The energy jumps up to 23 there, but it’s all chop and no form.

Saturday the 11th of July sees a 3 ft swell from the ESE with a 4-second period – again, short-period wind swell – and a cross-on breeze. Wave energy hits 33, but it’s lumpy. Not great.

From Sunday the 12th of July onwards, we’re into a prolonged flat spell. The swell hovers around 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft for the next week. There are some clean windows with cross-off winds from the NW, especially on the 12th afternoon (2 ft, energy 46) and the 13th, 14th, and 15th mornings. But that 2 ft on the 12th is a short 6-second period, so it’s pretty weak. The energy on those days is low (between 22 and 46), and the surf quality is consistently marked as poor. Even when it’s clean, there’s just not enough height to make Wembury’s point work properly.

The last few days (16th through 19th of July) keep the same pattern: tiny waves, mostly cross-shore or cross-off winds, and energy levels down in the teens. The 19th shows a 0.3 ft swell from the south with a very long 19-second period – that’s a proper groundswell, but it’s a ripple, and it’s cross-on. Not worth the drive.

The standout? There really isn’t one across this whole 16-day window. The best you could hope for is a glassy, clean morning with 1.0 ft to 2 ft of weak swell, like on the 5th of July or the 14th of July. For a dedicated longboarder or a beginner just wanting to get wet, those mornings might offer a tiny little ride, but for anyone looking for proper surf, this is a write-off. Wembury is inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast is a classic example of a blank run for this area. We just have to wait for the next system to roll in.

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.
