Table - best surf conditions forecast for Wembury over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this next couple of weeks at Wembury is a tough watch. The forecast is showing a whole lot of flatness and not much to get excited about. The combined swell energy barely gets into double digits most days, often sitting in the teens or even single digits, which is basically nothing. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions with no real recommendations to speak of.
We start off Saturday the 11th of July with a tiny 0.7ft swell from the West, but with a fresh 19 mph cross-offshore wind it’s clean, just absolutely tiny. The afternoon sees a bump to 2ft, but the period drops to a pathetic 3 seconds and the wind goes cross-shore, making it a lumpy mess. Sunday the 12th is worse – a 0.3ft morning swell followed by a 3ft afternoon, but that comes with a 4-second period and a strong breeze making it messy. Monday the 13th through to the end of the forecast is more of the same: tiny swells, often under 2ft, with strong onshore or cross-shore winds. The effective energy is so weak, with values like 16, 21, 6, and 48 (the highest being 60 on the 13th), it’s just not worth paddling out for a proper surf.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The only silver lining is that the water temperature is about average for the time of year, so you won’t freeze if you’re just floating around. But for surfing? You’re better off waiting for the next system. This looks like a blank run for the area, and forecasts can change, but for now, don’t hold your breath.
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.
