The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this straight: looking at the whole 16-day window, there’s just nothing happening here. The only spot in the game is Wembury, and it’s not showing any love. The whole stretch is a flat spell with no surf worth paddling out for.
We start with Wednesday morning, 29th July, and already it’s a struggle. A tiny 0.7ft swell from the WSW, 11-second period, but the wind is cross and the energy reading is a weak 20. The water is about average for this time of year, nothing strange. The wave comment says it all—poor surf. That holds through the afternoon when the wind cranks up to 15 mph from the SW, cross-onshore and choppy, swell drops to 12 energy.
Thursday the 30th: morning brings a bit of a cleaner look with cross-offshore wind from the WNW at 12 mph, but the swell is still only 1.0ft and the period is a short 4 seconds. Energy is down to 5. Afternoon is similar, 2ft but with a 3-second period, 8 energy. Clean but completely gutless.
Friday the 31st: morning has a light cross-on breeze, 0.7ft swell, 5-second period, energy only 4. Afternoon is worse—0.3ft, 12-second period, but cross-on wind and choppy. Nothing.
Saturday 1st August: NW wind at 9 mph, cross-off, clean, but the swell is 0.7ft and 10-second period. Energy 11. Afternoon: 1.0ft, 9 seconds, clean, 18 energy. Still not enough to surf.
Sunday 2nd: morning has ENE wind 9 mph, cross-off, 1.0ft, 8 seconds, 13 energy. Afternoon goes cross-shore with light wind, 1.0ft, 8 seconds, 21 energy. Still poor.
Monday 3rd through the rest of the week: it’s a broken record. Swell heights never break 2ft, periods are all over the place, energy values stay below 30. The wind is often cross-off or clean, but there’s simply no push.
The gap of good surf is the entire 16 days. There are no recommendations. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual. Forecasts can change, but right now, don’t bother waxing up.

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.
