The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a washout for East Runton. We’re talkin’ a long, dry spell with no real surf to get excited about. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly a mess, and every single wave comment is "poor surf conditions." It’s a real bummer.
The first few days are a no-go. Monday the 7th has a weak 0.7ft north swell with a short 6-second period and a cross-offshore breeze, but the combined energy is a measly 3 – barely a ripple. Tuesday the 8th is even worse with 0.3ft. Wednesday the 9th actually sees a pulse of 5ft swell from the NNW, but the wind is a cross-shore mess, and the period is a short 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 326, so there’s some power in the water, but the wind ruins it. It’s a no-go for paddle surfing; this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The rest of the week and into the next is just tiny dribbles. Thursday the 10th has 2ft, and Friday the 11th drops to 1.0ft. The weekend of the 12th and 13th is flat to tiny, with a 14-second period groundswell on Sunday the 13th that’s only 0.3ft – all show, no go. Combined energy is 8. The following week, from the 14th to the 22nd, is a constant stream of 0.3ft to 2ft swells with short periods. The wind is all over the place, from strong breezes to light airs, but none of it makes up for the lack of size.
For a beginner spot like East Runton, the swell never even gets above 5ft, so it wouldn’t be too big, but it’s just not there. The water temperature is around 65°F on the 7th, which is a solid 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year – a very unusual anomaly. The rest of the readings are missing, so I can’t comment further.
There is a tiny glimmer way out on Monday the 21st with a 2ft swell and offshore wind, but the period is a short 4 seconds and the energy is low. It’s a long way off and not something to plan a trip around. Honestly, the best advice I can give is to wait for a better forecast. This is one of those blank runs that’s more normal for the area.

Information about the East Runton Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for East Runton provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at East Runton can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our East Runton 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 (East Runton) 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 East Runton 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.
East Runton is 30 km (19 miles) from the city of Fakenham. If you plan a holiday in East Anglia, look for hotels and other accommodation in Fakenham. Fakenham has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
