Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mablethorpe over the next 16 days.
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what this stretch is giving us.
Right off the bat, the surf is a no-show. There’s a big dry spell from now all the way up to the 22nd of July. The first week and a half is dominated by tiny swell, onshore or cross-onshore wind, and choppy water. The combined energy readings are weak – mostly in the low double digits – and the highest we see is 108 on the 18th, but that’s still with a cross breeze and short-period junk under 8 seconds. The water temp is pretty standard for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The only faint pulse comes on Wednesday afternoon, the 22nd of July. Mablethorpe gets a 1.3m north swell, period of 8 seconds, with clean offshore wind from the west. The energy climbs to 203 – that’s a moderate boost. It’s described as surfable but very ordinary, and it’s a beginner-level wave. The morning of the 23rd still has a clean cross-off breeze and a 0.8m north-northeast swell, but the energy fades fast.
If you’re aching to get wet, that Wednesday afternoon is your best – and really only – bet for some clean, rideable little waves. But it’s nothing special. After the 23rd, it all dies off again into flat, clean conditions with nothing to surf.
No standouts. Just a long wait.
Rusty.

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.
