The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s in store for us here.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for the most part. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak swell with nothing to get excited about. It’s gonna be a waiting game. The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until Tuesday the 4th of August, so that’s about a week of pretty much nothing on the cards.
For the first week, from Saturday the 25th of July through to Monday the 3rd of August, the swell is mostly below 2 ft – just scraps. The wind is often cross-off or cross, but the wave energy is just pitiful, with combined energy values mostly under 40 (weak). It’s a write-off for paddling.
Now, the standout. Finally, on Tuesday morning, the 4th of August, we get a spike. Wembury pulls in a 5 ft swell from the southwest, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 491 (strong wave energy) and we’ve got a clean, offshore wind from the north at 12 mph. That’s the session to aim for. That’s clean, punchy, and a proper step up from the nothingness before it. The water is sitting at 67°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so you can leave the thick suit at home.
After that, it drops back down again. The rest of the week into the 9th of August is back to tiny surf (0.3 ft to 1 ft) with weak energy, mostly cross-off winds, but nothing to bother with.
So, if you’re waiting for a wave, your only real window is that Tuesday morning on the 4th of August. It’s not a huge swell, but it’s the only one that’s got any grunt and clean conditions.

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.
