Right then, let’s get into it. I’ve had a proper look at the charts for Mablethorpe, and I’ll be honest with you – it’s a rough stretch. The whole 16-day window is pretty quiet. There’s a big gap at the start with nothing worth mentioning; the first sniff of any real action doesn’t show up until late in the second week. For most of the period, we’ve got tiny, weak swell with poor wind, and nothing really builds. The only time the energy starts to climb into the moderate range (116) is on Monday the 13th of July, but the wind is a moderate cross-onshore from the NNE at 16 mph, making it choppy and messy. The swell’s only 4ft at 7 seconds – short period, so not much shape. That’s the biggest we get, but the quality is poor. It stays like that for a few days, with swell around 3ft to 4ft and cross-onshore winds. Then from around Thursday the 21st of July, the wind turns cross-offshore and offshore, with the break cleaning right up. The swell is still small though, only 2ft to 2ft, but the wind is light and clean, especially Tuesday morning the 21st and Wednesday morning the 22nd. That’s the standout for anyone who just wants a clean, small wave. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild going on. With it being a beach break, and the wind mostly messy, a lot of these days would suit a kite surfer more than a paddle surfer. The best honest call is the morning of Wednesday the 22nd of July – gentle offshore wind from the W at 9 mph, with a 2ft swell from the north at an 8-second period. It’s small and clean, and with the break being inconsistent, you’ll want to pick your moment. Crowds are only sometimes an issue, so you might have a bit of space.

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