Table - best surf conditions forecast for Wembury over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be honest right off the bat: this is a tough one. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for Wembury, a point break that's usually a bit of a gamble given it's "inconsistent" anyway. Right now, the water is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing worth celebrating.
We're looking at a long, dry spell. From Thursday the 9th all the way through to the afternoon of Wednesday the 16th, every single report is basically "poor surf conditions" with tiny, weak swell. There's nothing to get excited about.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the afternoon of Thursday the 16th. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, but the swell is a pathetic 3ft from the WSW with a period of only 4 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 46, so it’s weak. It’s surfable, but the conditions are described as "very ordinary." Honestly, it’s a last resort session.
The morning of Friday the 17th is the best on offer. We get a 3ft swell from the WSW with a 6-second period, and a clean cross-offshore wind from the NW. Combined energy is 94, still weak but it’s the most we’ve got. It’s small and clean, but it’s a beginner-friendly wave. Nothing special.
After that, it’s back to tiny, weak, and mostly choppy or cross-shore junk for the rest of the forecast. The morning of Monday the 20th offers a gentle offshore breeze from the NNE with a 1ft WSW swell, but that’s barely a ripple.
There’s not a single standout session in the whole 16-day window. This is a classic blank run for the area, and forecasts can always change, but right now, you’d be better off checking the tides or doing something else.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
