Table - best surf conditions forecast for Wembury over the next 16 days.
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let's break it down.
I'll be straight with you – the next week and a half at Wembury is about as exciting as watching concrete set. There is next to no swell on the cards until we get deep into the forecast. A long, dry spell with zero to recommend.
If you're patient, though, there is a pulse of energy trying to push through towards the end. On Sunday, July 26th, we start to see a little life with a 4ft swell out of the SW. The morning looks clean with a light offshore wind from the WNW, but by the afternoon the wind turns onshore and it gets messy.
The real size shows up on Monday, July 27th. We're talking 6ft of SW windswell, but it's accompanied by a strong onshore breeze. It'll be lumpy, choppy, and a total battle. The energy picks up (combined wave energy 302-355), but the quality is shot.
Tuesday, July 28th might offer a slightly better window. The swell drops to 4ft but with a longer 11-second period, and the wind looks to turn more cross-shore, cleaning it up a bit. The direction is finally from the SW, which is what this point break needs to work.
This is not beginner territory. With that much swell and strong wind, it's strictly for the experienced crew. The water temp is average for the time of year, nothing special.
With the strong onshore flow and the beach-break nature of the setup, the final few days honestly look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Not our best showing by a long shot.
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.
