The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be honest, it's a tough stretch ahead for Wimereux. We're looking at a long, flat, and messy run. The forecast shows nothing but "poor surf conditions" for the entire 16-day window, so there's no real standout day to get excited about. The combined energy of all swells is low, often below 100 (weak), with a few days barely scraping into the moderate range.
The only wave action we see is tiny, with swell heights mostly under 3.3 ft and short, weak periods. That's not going to produce anything rideable. The wind is a constant problem too, mostly cross-shore or cross-onshore, which will chop up whatever little bump there is. The first real gap of anything to even consider is on the 28th of July, when a tiny 2.6 ft swell from the WSW shows up, but it's still cross-shore and the energy is very weak (25). The best of a bad lot might be the morning of the 28th, with a gentle breeze keeping the surface a little less messy, but you're still looking at pathetic waves.
If you're a beginner, don't even bother. The swell is too small and weak to learn on, and the water temperature is about average for the time of year. Honestly, for the next two weeks, you're better off leaving the board at home. The whole period is a write-off for paddle surfing.

Information about the Wimereux Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Wimereux provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Wimereux can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Wimereux 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 (Wimereux) 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 Wimereux 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.
