Alright, Rusty here, let’s have a look at what Wembury’s got lined up for us.
Alright, I’m gonna be straight with you – the first week and a half is pretty grim. We’ve got tiny, weak swell and mostly cross or onshore winds. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, sitting at 63°F, but that’s about the only bright spot. The combined wave energy is in the low double-digits for days on end, barely enough to get a ripple going. We’re looking at a long dry spell with no real surf until mid-July.
The first whisper of anything worth paddling for doesn’t show up until Tuesday the 14th. Tuesday morning we finally see a little jump in energy, with the combined energy hitting 51, and a small 1ft swell from the WSW. The period’s a modest 11 seconds, so it’s got a touch of push, but the wind is a light cross-off from the NE, keeping the surface clean. It’s listed as surfable but very ordinary – not exactly a standout, but it’s all we’ve got.
Sunday the 19th sees a bit more size, but the quality falls apart. The swell pushes up to 5ft from the WSW with a short, weak period of 6 seconds, so it’s just messy windswell. The combined energy climbs to 129, which is moderate, but with a moderate cross-onshore wind and rain, it’s a choppy, sloppy mess.
Now, Monday the 20th is the only real standout in this whole forecast. We’ve got a 7ft swell from the west, with a 10-second period, and the combined energy surges to a massive 1007 – that’s strong, powerful stuff. The wind is a strong breeze from the NW, but it’s cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. That’s a big, powerful groundswell, and at that size, only experienced surfers should be out there. The long period will make for nice shape at Wembury’s point setup, but the sets will be widely spaced. Monday afternoon drops a bit to 6ft with a 9-second period and 743 energy, but still clean with a fresh WNW cross-off. That’s your best window, no doubt.
So, ride the small, clean stuff on the 14th morning if you’re desperate, but save your energy for Monday the 20th. That’s the day.
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.
