The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a tough run ahead for the next sixteen days. The setup is basically flat with a stubborn onshore flow, and there’s no real window where it all comes together. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions, so don’t be expecting any heroics. The first few days are a write-off, and we’re talking about a gap of over a week before we even see a glimmer of something rideable.
Kicking off on Wednesday afternoon, 22 July, the water is already a notable 66°F, which is much warmer than usual for the time of year. That’s a nice touch, but the waves are a joke – just 0.3ft of weak, long-period swell from the south. The combined energy is a measly 6, and it’s cross-onshore with a light breeze. It’s barely a ripple. That same story runs right through the next several days.
You’ll see a bit of a bump on Saturday afternoon, 25 July, with a 2ft swell from the west, but it’s a short-period, windswell mess with a 19 mph cross-shore wind. The combined energy is only 15, and the wave comment says it all: poor surf conditions. The morning of Sunday, 26 July, is a little cleaner with a cross-offshore wind, but the swell is still tiny at 2ft and the energy is weak at 62. It’s not worth the paddle.
We finally see a slight shift on Monday morning, 3 August. The surf is still small, but it’s the first time we get a "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" tag. There’s 2ft of swell from the southwest, with a clean cross-offshore wind. The combined energy is 40. It’s not going to blow your mind, but if you’re desperate for a slide, this is the only window. Wembury is a point break, so it’s exposed to the southwest, and it’s inconsistent, so you’ll be sitting and waiting. The crowd factor is "often", so expect company.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The swell fades again, and the winds turn onshore and choppy. There’s nothing else to recommend. The best of a bad bunch is that Monday morning, 3 August, but even that is a tough sell. Save your energy and wait for a proper change.
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.
