Imperial
Alright, folks, let’s talk Mablethorpe. This is a tough one. We’ve got a 16-day run that starts off dead. The water’s real warm – about 67°, which is over 9° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a wild anomaly. But no surf to enjoy it.
From Friday the 10th through Saturday the 19th, it’s a flat, poor run. Tiny waves, mostly under 1ft, with short periods and messy onshore or cross-shore winds. Energy readings are in the single digits, the weakest category. Nothing to ride.
Then Sunday morning the 19th, we get our best shot. Swell hits 4ft from the north with a 7-second period, energy at 219 (moderate). The wind goes cross-offshore from the NNW at 19 mph, and it’s clean. That’s the standout. It’s a beginner break, inconsistent, and 4ft is about as big as it gets for learners. The cross-off wind will keep it tidy.
Monday the 20th morning brings the biggest swell – 4ft from the north (NNE) and a solid 9-second period. Energy is moderate at 295. But the wind is cross-shore and it’s called marginal. Best for experienced surfers. The north wind at 9 mph will leave it a bit lumpy.
Tuesday the 21st morning is the most user-friendly – 3ft from the north, 9-second period, with a tiny 3 mph cross-offshore breeze from the NNW. Glassy and clean. Energy at 101. Perfect for a longboard.
After that, it’s flat again to the end. Your best bets: Sunday the 19th morning for the cleanest conditions, Monday the 20th morning for the most size, and Tuesday the 21st morning for the easiest, glassy session. It’s lean, but there’s a couple of windows.

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.
Mablethorpe is 20 km (12 miles) from Skegness. If you plan a holiday in Lincolnshire, look for hotels and other accommodation in Skegness. Skegness has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
