The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Sutton-on-Sea.
Well, I’ll be honest with you, mate – it’s a quiet stretch ahead. Over the next 16 days, there’s no standout swell to get excited about. The nearest we get to anything rideable is around August 4th, but even then, the wind isn’t playing ball.
Right now, and through the rest of July, we’ve got tiny waves – mostly 0.7 ft to 2 ft. The water is much warmer than usual for this time of year at 67 °F. But with those small, weak swells and periods under 10 seconds, there’s just no push. The combined energy is weak, ranging from 6 to 53.
On August 4th, the swell does bump up a little – Tuesday morning sees 2 ft from the north with a period of 11 seconds, and combined energy reaching 105 (moderate). By the afternoon, it gets to 3 ft from the northeast with 10 seconds and energy of 280. That’s the biggest we see. But it’s all cross-onshore wind, making it choppy and messy. That northerly swell direction isn’t great for the break’s optimum either. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s not a day for a surfboard.
After that, we drop back to tiny stuff. By August 9th, the swell direction swings to the east-northeast, but it’s a short-period windswell of 4 ft with a period of only 5 seconds and weak energy (70). The wind is cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but the waves are just mush.
Sutton-on-Sea is a beginner spot and inconsistent at best. For this whole 16-day window, there’s nothing I’d call a true standout. You’re better off saving your energy. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a flat run.

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.
