The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here, let's look at what Wembury's got cookin' over the next couple of weeks.

Overall, it’s a real mixed bag. The water’s sitting at a balmy 66° – a full 4° warmer than what we’d usually expect for this time of year, so you can leave the thickest rubber at home for a while yet.

The first few days are a write-off. Sunday the 30th is a no-go with strong cross-onshore winds making a mess of a weak 3ft WSW swell. Monday the 31st is where it gets interesting. We’re looking at a solid 8ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind swings WNW, going cross-offshore and cleaning things right up. The combined energy is pumping at (1778) – that’s some proper power. That Monday morning is the standout of the whole run, no question. But listen, 8ft is big, and this is a point break that’s *inconsistent* and can get *often* crowded, so this one’s for the crew who know what they’re doing.

That pulse hangs around through Monday afternoon with 8ft waves, still clean, but after that, it drops off a cliff. Tuesday through to the end of the first week is mostly small, weak, and blown out – just a bunch of 0s across the board. You get a little bump on Friday the 4th afternoon with 5ft from the WSW and clean sideshore winds, but it’s only rated as marginal with a combined energy of (500). Worth a look for a sneaky session if you’re keen, but don’t get your hopes up.

The second week is flat. From the 6th of September onward, we’re talking tiny dribble, mostly under 2ft. There’s a brief moment on Saturday the 12th morning when it’s dead glassy with a faint 3ft swell, but it’s barely enough to push you along. The 14th of September morning is also glassy but even smaller. After that big Monday, it’s a long stretch of near nothing. A bleak run for a break that’s already inconsistent, so it’s more normal for the area to have this kind of blank spell.

If you’re set on paddling out, pin your hopes on Monday the 31st of August morning at Wembury. That’s the only time the stars align for something solid and clean.

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.
