The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a real dry spell on the calendar for Wembury. The 16-day window starts flat as a pancake and stays that way for a long stretch. From the 4th all the way through the 12th, the swell is tiny—nothing over a foot or so—and most of the combined energy readings are in the weak bracket. On the 4th and 5th, there’s a little 3–4ft swell from the WSW, but the wind is cross-on or cross-off, keeping the quality poor. The water is sitting at 65°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for the season.

The lull finally breaks on the morning of August 13th. That Thursday morning is your only real play. A 4ft swell from the WSW lines up perfectly with the break’s exposure, and the wind is light and cross-off out of the WNW. The combined energy hits 281 (moderate wave energy), and it’s clean. Get in the water for that morning session—it’ll be the best you see until the forecast turns. The afternoon of the 13th gets blown out with stronger wind, and after that, it's all small, choppy, or cross-shore nonsense through the second week. Not much to write home about.

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.
