Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles per hour. It’s a bleak picture here, so brace yourself.

For Sutton-on-Sea, the water is way warm for this time of year, about 67°F – that’s a huge anomaly, but it’s not gonna save the surf.

Right from the start, it’s tiny. For the first week, through the 12th of July, we’re lookin’ at swell heights barely a foot, with combined energy readings mostly under 30 (weak). The wind is a mess, chopping up whatever little bump there is. Not worth wetting a suit.

Come the morning of the 12th of July, we see a little pulse – about 3 feet from the NNE, but with a short period of 6 seconds. That’s just local wind slop. The energy climbs to 57 (still weak), but it’s cross-onshore, making it choppy and ugly.

The 13th of July is similar, 3 feet with a 7-second period, energy up to 73 (still weak). But the wind is a fresh cross-shore, creating lumpy, messy conditions. No good.

After that, it fades fast. From the 14th of July through the 17th, the swell drops back below 2 feet, and the energy goes with it. Winds stay onshore or cross-shore. Trash.

From the 18th of July right through the 21st, it’s flat. Zero swell. Just wind ripples. With those conditions – small, weak, and windy – on a beach setup, you’d have more fun on a kite than a surfboard.

There’s nothing to get excited about here. A couple of days with 3-foot waves show up, but the quality is so poor and the wind so bad, I can’t point you to any standout. This kind of flat spell is normal for the area. Forecasts might flip, but for now, save the gas.

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.

Sutton-on-Sea is 17 km (11 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.
