The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Sutton-on-Sea.
To be straight with you, the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off. There’s barely a ripple to get excited about. We’re looking at a long, dry spell from now until the end of July, with tiny, weak swell and mostly poor conditions. The combined energy is just a sad little whisper, often in the single digits or low tens. You’d be better off cleaning the wax off your board than trying to paddle out.
Then, things start to look a touch more promising as we head into the first week of August. The first real sign of life comes on Monday the 3rd of August. The morning shows a pulse of new swell, about 3 feet from the north-northeast, with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and the combined energy jumps up to 229 – a moderate kick. The wind is light from the north-northwest, keeping things clean. It’s not a massive day, but after the drought, it’s the only thing worth mentioning. For a beginner spot, this is about as good as it gets, though that bigger period could make it a bit walled off. Still, it’s the standout.
The rest of the first week of August is a letdown again, with onshore winds and messy, small surf. So, to sum it up: don’t bother for the next ten days. Mark your calendar for the morning of the 3rd of August for a chance at a few clean, small waves at Sutton-on-Sea.

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.
