The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one for the Wembury area. I’ve had a good look at the next 16 days, and the truth is, there’s barely a ripple worth paddling for. The combined swell energy barely gets into double figures right through the whole period, topping out at a weak 28 (moderate cross-onshore and choppy) on the afternoon of the 15th. That’s not surf, that’s a lake with a bit of wind.
We’re looking at a solid 16-day gap with no real recommendations. The swell is tiny, the period is all over the place, and the wind is mostly a mess. For a spot like Wembury, a point break that’s already inconsistent, a run like this isn’t a total shock – it just means the ocean is having a long nap. Don’t hold your breath.
The only tiny glimmer is on the morning of Saturday the 18th of July. It’s glassy, dead calm wind from the east at 0 mph, and the water is dead flat with a 0.3 ft from the west. It’s glassy, sure, but you’d be floating on a foamie with no hope. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so at least you won’t freeze while you’re waiting for nothing.
Honestly, unless you’re keen on a flat spell, this is a blank run. The setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, but even then, there’s no wind. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but right now, store the boards and grab a beer.
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.
