Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the Wembury area over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a pretty grim start. We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, poor-quality surf that runs all the way from now, Friday the 10th of July, through to the end of the week beginning the 20th of July. For well over a week, the waves are barely a whisper, with heights mostly under 3 feet and messy winds ruining what little shape there is. The water temp is running about 64°, which is a touch warmer than we'd expect for this time of year. It’s a real test of patience.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't arrive until the morning of Friday the 24th of July. The swell finally kicks up to 6ft coming from the southwest, and the wind is set to be a clean, cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy of all swells out there hits a moderate 242, so there's finally some grunt in the water. The period is a short 6 seconds though, so it'll be a bit lumpy, but for the first time in ages, it's actually surfable.
Then, the standout of the whole forecast is the morning of Saturday the 25th of July. Saturday morning is the one to circle on the calendar. We're looking at 6ft of swell from the west-southwest, with that same clean cross-offshore wind. The wave energy jumps right up to 668, meaning there’s some proper power behind these lines. The period is up to a better 9 seconds too, so the waves will have a bit more shape. The southwesterly swell is right in Wembury's sweet spot, making this the best session on offer. Just be aware, this is a long-range call, so check back closer to the time.
For the rest of that weekend and into the following week, the swell drops off again, and the winds get messier, so it’s back to a waiting game. A bit of a dry spell, but when it finally shows up at the end of the month, it might just be worth the wait.
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.
