The Lowdown

Alright, let’s have a look at Wembury. It’s a slow start to the period, so don’t rush out just yet.

The first real chance comes Friday morning, the 4th of September. Clean cross-off breeze at 12 mph from the WNW, swell at 7 ft from the west, period of 7 seconds. Combined energy is moderate at 676. It’s a bit short period, so it’ll be a bit bumpy, but there’s enough to get wet. The afternoon goes back down to 4 ft.

Saturday morning the 5th is glassy, dead calm, with the swell down to 2 ft from the WSW, 10-second period. Energy is weak at 126. Small and clean – a longboard morning.

Sunday the 6th is blown out and tiny, 1 ft, forget it.

Now, Monday the 7th is the one to circle. Morning clouds, cross-off from the west at 15 mph, and a solid 6 ft swell from the west, period of 10 seconds. Combined energy jumps strong to 1040. This is your standout: Wembury point break, the west swell matches the optimal SW direction perfectly. Water temps are about average for the season. Crowds can be often, so expect some company, but this morning session is your best bet for clean, powerful waves. That 6 ft is a bit much for beginners but good for everyone else. The afternoon gets messy with fresh cross-onshore wind, so hit it early.

Tuesday the 8th is cross-shore and lumpy, nothing for you.

Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th are small and weak or onshore.

Friday the 11th: morning cross-off from the NNW at 12 mph, swell 4 ft from the SW, 10-second period, energy 225 – moderate. That afternoon even goes offshore from the NNW at 18 mph, still around 4 ft. Clean, but not big.

From Saturday the 12th onward, the swell fades fast. Days of 1 ft or less, with only brief clean moments. The second week is a long, quiet stretch. A tiny window on Tuesday the 15th morning with 2 ft and a light cross-off breeze – but it’s not much.

So bottom line: Monday morning the 7th is your best call by a long shot. After that, the surf goes quiet. Make the most of it.

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.
