The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s cut to the chase: this coastline is flat-lining. We’ve got a 16-day window, but the first real chance to surf doesn’t come until Friday, August 1st. Before that, it’s a long stretch of tiny, gutless swell and messy wind. The water is sitting at 68° – that’s a good 7° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is very unusual. Feels like a warm bath, but there’s nothing to ride.
The only glimmer of hope is on Friday morning, August 1st at Wimereux. We’ll see a little pulse of swell from the NNE, coming in around 3ft with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is only moderate (56), so it’s not going to pack a punch. The wind will be cross-shore, so expect a bit of chop, but it’s the best we’ll see all outlook. The swell direction is from the NNE, and this spot works best from the WSW, so it’s not a perfect fit, but it’s all we’ve got. It’s a small, short-period wave that’ll be messy. This is a beginner-friendly reef, fairly consistent, but crowds will be likely. If you’re desperate for a paddle, this is your window.
The rest of the 16 days are a total write-off. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the waves are too weak to bother with. Honestly, for the next couple of weeks, you’re better off leaving the boards at home. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the onshore winds and bumpy conditions. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a blank run.
Rusty.

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.
