The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
To be brutally honest, it’s a flat spell. We’ve got a long haul ahead. The first surfable day in the entire 16-day window isn’t until Tuesday the 15th of July, and even then, it’s a struggle. From now until then, there’s absolutely nothing to ride.
The first real chance you’d even bother paddling out for is on Thursday morning, the 17th of July, over at Sutton-on-Sea. It’s a beginner spot, exposed to the north, but it’s small. We’re talking a weak 3 ft of swell from the NNE with a short, weak period of 5 seconds and barely any energy behind it (35). The wind is cross-shore and choppy, so it’s not going to be pretty. Honestly, it’s pretty grim.
Things don't really improve. The Saturday morning the 19th of July sees a slight bump, with swell heights hitting 4 ft from the NNE and a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 172, so there's a bit more push. But the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-shore, making for lumpy, crumbly conditions. It’s surf, but it’s ugly surf, and at that size for a beginner spot, it might be a bit much for total newcomers.
The only standout, and I mean the only one worth a mention, is on the morning of Tuesday the 22nd of July. The wind goes glassy, swinging light from the WSW at 3 mph. But the swell is almost nonexistent, only 2 ft from the NNE with a weak 6-second period and low energy (25). It will be clean as a whistle, but you’ll be struggling to get a ride. Not a hero day.
After that, it all fades away again. From the 23rd of July right through to the end of the month, we are looking at tiny, messy leftovers or flat spells with clean winds but no waves. A couple of mornings around the 26th of July show offshore winds, but with swells of 0.7 ft, you’re better off taking the dog for a walk.
So, the honest truth? Everything scores a zero for a reason. There’s no good surf on offer. The best of a bad bunch is the 19th of July morning at Sutton-on-Sea if you’re desperate for a paddle, but don’t expect a barrel. For the rest of the run, it’s a total bust.
Stay patient.
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.
