Table - best surf conditions forecast for Sutton-on-Sea over the next 16 days.
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's break it down. The next week and a half is pretty lean, but there's a couple of windows if you’re keen to wait.
Right now and for the next several days, it’s flat and messy. From Friday the 10th up to Saturday the 19th, there’s almost no surf worth mentioning. Tiny swell, onshore and cross-onshore winds, and wave energy is in the dumps – mostly double-digit readings. Water temp is a weird 67°F, far warmer than usual for July, but that doesn’t help the waves.
On Sunday, the 19th of July, things get interesting. A 4ft N swell rolls in, period 7 seconds, and combined energy hits 219 – moderate energy. The morning looks clean with cross-offshore wind from the NNW at 19 mph. That’s your best window right there. The afternoon gets messier, but Sunday morning is the standout.
Monday the 20th offers a bit more size: 4ft from the NNE, 9-second period, energy at 295. The wind is cross-shore with slight chop, making it marginal but ridable.
Tuesday the 21st brings a clean but small day – 3ft of NNE swell, 9-second period, and super light offshore winds from the NW at just 3 mph. It’s glassy (101 energy), but you’ll want a longboard. After that, it fades back to flat from the 22nd to the 25th of July.
Bottom line: Sunday the 19th is your best shot. Monday and Tuesday are backup options. This is Rusty, signing off.

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