The Lowdown
Rusty here, checking in on Sutton-on-Sea. I’ve got to be honest with you, the next 16 days look bleak. There’s a massive gap of surfable waves. What we’ve got is a whole lot of nothing.
Starting Tuesday, 1st September, the swell is tiny, coming from the north at 0.4m with a 6-second period. The combined energy is a measly 12. The wind is offshore, so the water is clean, but there’s just no push. This sorry state of affairs continues through the rest of the week. The biggest bump we see is on Saturday, 5th September, with a 0.8m swell from the NNW, but the period is still short at 8 seconds, and the energy only hits 66. It’s still poor surf.
Then it gets even worse. From the 9th of September through the 16th, we’re looking at flat spells and waves that are barely 0.3m. The wind stays offshore, so the water is clean, but you’d be better off just looking at the horizon. The combined energy is in the single digits most of the time. There is no good surf on offer. It’s a dry spell, and for this area, it happens. Don’t hold your breath.

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.
