Alright, let me give you the outlook on East Runton in feet.

We’re looking at a pretty lean run here. The whole 16-day window is filled with small, weak, and often messy surf, so there isn’t a single day I’d get genuinely excited about. The best we can hope for is a few sessions that are rideable, but you’ll have to manage your expectations. The water is way warmer than normal for this time of year, around 65°, which is a big anomaly of about 7° warmer – feels like summer has come early, but the swell hasn't got the memo.

Starting off, the first week is a write-off. The waves are tiny, mostly under 3ft, with poor wind directions and weak energy levels, typically between 5 and 58. That swell direction is all over the place too, and the periods are short, so nothing with any real push.

Moving into the second week, things don’t improve much. By Sunday the 12th of July, we get some size bumping up to 5ft from the NE, but the energy is still only moderate at 110, and it’s onshore wind, so it’ll be a messy close-out at this beach break. The 13th of July sees the biggest swells of the window, with 5ft from the NNE and energy climbing to 184, but again the wind is straight onshore at 30 km/h, making it a choppy, blown-out mess. That wave state is listed as unknown, but with those winds, it’s not going to be pretty.

After a week of onshore slop, we get a brief flicker of hope on Saturday the 18th of July. The morning shows 3ft from the north with a 7-second period and a clean, cross-offshore wind from the west at 19 mph. Energy is a moderate 112. That’s the best combo in the whole forecast – clean enough to make the small waves rideable, but still tiny. The following day, Sunday the 19th of July, gives us glassy conditions in the morning with a light N/northwest wind and 3ft, 7-second north swell. That’s perfect for a beginner to have a super clean, small session, even if the waves lack power.

After that, the swell fades out again into the final days. Nothing in this whole window stands out as a true standout. It’s a long stretch of bad luck for East Runton. For the size of swell we see, and the poor wind alignment on most days, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on a lot of those afternoons.

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.
