The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a tough stretch for Wembury. The swell is mostly small and weak, and the wind is all over the place. The water is sitting at a very warm 67° right now, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so a spring suit will do.
The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t show up until Friday, the 7th of August. That morning, we’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the WSW, but the wind is glassy. That’s a major positive – it’ll be clean. The combined energy is only 56 (weak), so you won’t be getting any power, but for a fun, small wave session on a longboard, it’s the best we’ve got. Short period of 4 seconds means it’s just windswell.
The real standout, if you’re brave, is the morning of Saturday, the 8th of August. The swell jumps up to 4ft from the W with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits 159 (moderate). The wind is from the ENE at 15 km/h, which is cross-offshore and clean. That’s the best combination of size and conditions in the whole forecast. It’s a point break, so that longer period will wrap in nicely. Just know that Wembury can be inconsistent, so don’t expect a set every minute.
After that, Sunday the 9th has offshore winds but the swell drops back to 3ft, and the energy is lower again. The rest of the fortnight is a write-off, with tiny surf and crummy, onshore winds.
So, if you’re itching for a paddle, your best bet is the glassy morning of the 7th for a longboard, or the clean, 4ft swell on the morning of the 8th. That’s the pick of the bunch.
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.
