The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day stretch for Sutton-on-Sea is a tough one to write about. We're looking at a long, dry spell with barely a wave worth paddling for. You're gonna want to save your energy and maybe plan a trip elsewhere.
Looking right across the whole period, it's grim. The first recommendation doesn't even pop up until Monday 20th July, and even then it's barely surfable. There's a massive gap of almost no surf at all for several days before that tiny window. After that Monday, it drops right back off again, with the last few days offering basically nothing but ripples.
The closest thing to a silver lining comes very early Monday morning, 20th July. We get a brief window of glassy conditions with the wind going absolutely dead calm, which is a rare treat. The swell is a tiny 3 ft from the NNE, with a short period of 9 seconds and weak energy (108). It's labelled as surfable but very ordinary. For a beginner, this might be a chance to get wet on a foamie, but don't expect anything with any push or shape. The water is far warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 68°, which is a freakish 9° above average – feels like a bath, but the waves just aren't there.
Sutton-on-Sea is inconsistent anyway, so this blank run, unfortunately, is more normal for the area than we'd like. We just have to hope the charts look better down the line.

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.
