Table - best surf conditions forecast for Wembury over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. I’ve scanned the full 16-day window and honestly, there’s nothing to get excited about at Wembury. The whole period is a flat spell with persistent poor surf conditions. We’re looking at a long, quiet run with no real recommendations.
The first record shows nothing on offer, and from there it’s a grim stretch right through to the end. There is a gap of several days with no real surf to speak of. The combined swell energy is tiny throughout – we’re talking values like 22, 20, and even dropping as low as 2. That’s weak energy, plain and simple. The swell heights barely reach 1ft, and the periods are short, mostly 8-10 seconds, with a few longer ones but no height behind them. It’s just not going to break properly.
Now, let’s talk about the only break in the lineup: Wembury. It’s a point break, exposed to the SW, but it’s inconsistent and doesn’t break often. The water temp is sitting at 63°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year (anomaly of 3°). That’s notable, but it won’t help the waves.
The winds are a mess. Early on, we get a glassy Thursday morning with a light SSE breeze, but the swell is still only 1ft, so it’s clean but flat. Then it’s all cross-shore, cross-off, or strong winds. By the afternoon of the 12th, we get a 3ft E swell with a super short period of 4 seconds and a fresh cross-shore – that’s just lumpy, messy junk. The 13th brings a 4ft E swell, again with a 4-second period, and strong cross-shore winds. That’s not for paddling; that’s more of a kite-surfing setup if anything.
Nothing stands out as worth the drive. The only positive is the occasional clean window with offshore or cross-off winds, but with no swell, it’s just a pretty lake. For a beginner, anything over 5ft would be too big, but we never get close. For experts, there’s nothing over 8ft either. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual when the forecasts are this flat.
Keep your board waxed and check back – it tends not to stay poor for long. Rusty out.

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.
