Mablethorpe Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let's be honest with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for the Mablethorpe area. We've got a real dry spell on our hands, and if you're after proper waves, you're gonna be staring at a lot of nothing. There's nothing on the cards that's worth getting excited about, and honestly, it's a tough stretch. The good news is that some of the breaks are fairly consistent, so it tends not to stay this poor for long. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.

Looking at the start, Thursday the 27th is a total washout. We've got light rain and a moderate breeze with a messy, onshore wind. The swell is tiny, coming in from the east at about 3ft with a weak period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is a meager 55, and it's just poor surf conditions. Not worth paddling out for.

Friday the 28th cleans up a little with a cross-offshore wind, but the swell has dropped to 2ft from the ENE with a period of 6 seconds. It's clean, but there's just no power behind it. The energy is down to 25, which is about as weak as it gets. It's still a no-go.

The weekend isn't offering any salvation. Saturday the 29th has a tiny 0.7ft swell in the morning, and then the wind swings onshore in the afternoon, making things lumpy. Sunday the 30th has a better offshore wind, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft from the north with a period of 7 seconds. The energy is just 16. It's clean but absolutely tiny.

The first week of September is more of the same. From Monday the 1st through to Sunday the 7th, we're looking at swells between 0.3ft and 1ft. There's a period of clean conditions with some offshore winds, but it's all surface texture with no actual wave. The energy readings are all in single digits or low twenties, which is just nothing. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

Then there's a real lull from the 8th. The morning of the 8th has no swell at all, and the wind is howling. The afternoon sees a small bump of 3ft from the north, but the period is only 6 seconds. It's still weak. The 9th of September brings a slightly better swell, with 3ft to 4ft from the north-northeast, but the period is still short at 6 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 101, which is the only time we get into triple digits in the whole period, but it's still not enough to make it worthwhile. The wind is also cross-shore, so it'll be a bit lumpy.

The 10th of September is back down to 2ft to 2ft with a cross-shore wind, and the 11th sees a 1ft swell with a slightly better 9-second period. But it's all too small and weak to be any fun.

Honestly, if you're looking for a standout, there isn't one. The best you could say is that the 9th of September has the most energy, but with that short period and cross-shore wind, it's not going to be clean. This whole stretch looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. There's simply no swell to work with.

Keep the faith, check back later, and hopefully the ocean will wake up soon.
