The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty. Let’s talk Sutton-on-Sea for the next couple of weeks. First impression? Not much to get the heart pumping.
The start of the period is a total bust. You’ve got some tiny swell—barely 2 ft to 2 ft—with short periods and onshore junk. The wind is messy, the water’s choppy, and the energy’s low. From now until around the 16th of August, there is a big, empty gap. No real surf to speak of.
Finally, on Monday the 17th of August, we get a taste of something clean. A W wind at 16 mph is blowing offshore, and for a few hours in the morning the surface is looking glassy. Swell is still tiny though, only about 1 ft with a 9-second period. Combined energy sits at 36. It’s a session for a longboard and a whole lot of patience, but it’s the best we’re gonna get.
Tuesday the 18th keeps the offshore flow going, but the swell drops even smaller. By Wednesday, we’re back to flat and choppy. It’s just one of those runs, folks. Sutton-on-Sea can be inconsistent like this, so a blank stretch isn’t unusual. Water temp is nothing out of the ordinary for this time of year.
No true highlight here, just that one small clean window on Monday. Forecasts can change, so don’t lose hope entirely.
Rusty.

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.
