The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here again, giving you the same story in feet and miles. For Wembury, it’s a long, dry spell. The first 10 days are basically a bust, and the second week doesn’t offer much redemption.
The first hint of something rideable is Monday morning, August 3rd. A tiny 2ft swell from the WSW, with a 8 second period, and combined energy of just 40 (weak). The wind is glassy though, keeping it clean. You’ll be on a longboard, but it’s surfable, just very ordinary.
Then it gets messy. Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th see the swell bump up to 4ft and even 5ft, but the wind is a nasty cross-onshore, making it a choppy, lumpy mess. The energy climbs to 126 and 201 (moderate), but the quality is poor. For a point, that’s a no-go.
Thursday morning, August 6th, is the closest thing to a highlight. A 3ft swell from the WSW, but with a cross-offshore wind, making it clean. Energy is 87 (weak). It’s small and weak, but clean. That’s your best shot.
From the 7th through the 16th, it’s flat and sad. Tiny swells, often under 2ft, with poor wind. You’ll see a glassy morning on the 8th and 9th with 2ft to 2ft, but the energy is pathetic (28 and 43). The water is just weak. By the 16th, we’ve got a 2ft swell with a strong cross-shore wind at 25 mph, making it a lumpy mess.
The standout? There isn’t one. That Thursday morning, August 6th, is your only real chance, and it’s a scrappy one. For a point break, this whole setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s a normal quiet spell for this area.
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.
