The Lowdown
Alright, I'm Rusty, and here's how things are shaping up for the Wembury area.
To be straight with you, the whole 16-day window is a quiet one. We've got a run of poor surf conditions stretching all the way from the 29th of July right through to the 13th of August. There just isn't a single session that fires. The swell heights barely push past 2ft, and the combined energy is low, with the highest reading being 59 (moderate energy) on the morning of the 9th of August, but even that comes with messy cross-shore winds. It's a lot of small, weak, and generally unexciting stuff.
For a few moments, there's a chance for a clean wave face. On the mornings of the 30th through to the 1st of August, and again on the 3rd, the wind goes light to glassy from the north-west or east-north-east, but the swell is tiny, around 0.7ft to 1ft. It's not really rideable.
There is a small spike in energy on the 8th and 9th of August. On the 8th, we see 2ft to 2ft from the WSW with moderate cross-onshore wind, so it'll be choppy. Then on the 9th, we get a 2ft WSW swell with a combined energy of 59 in the morning, but the wind is cross-shore and building. The afternoon goes to a fresh 22 mph cross-shore, lumping it all up. That's not one for the log.
Truth is, for a point break like Wembury, we need a decent swell direction from the SW and clean wind. We get a little bit of that, but the size just isn't there. This is one of those stretches where the forecast can change, but right now, there's nothing to get excited about. It's a solid blank run.
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.
