The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Sutton-on-Sea over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a pretty bleak stretch, and I’m not seeing a single day that’s worth paddling out for. The whole 16-day window is a write-off. We’ve got a run of poor surf conditions from the start on July 13th, all the way through to the end on July 28th. Not a single recommendation to be found.
The water is a balmy 68°F on the first day, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year, a real anomaly of 10°F above average. That’s about the only highlight.
For the first week, from the 13th to the 19th, we see a bit of swell, but it’s all onshore or cross-shore wind, choppy and lumpy. The biggest pulse comes in on the morning of the 19th, with a 4ft swell from the NNE, but with a cross-shore wind and a combined energy of just 151 (moderate), it’s still a mess. The period is 8 seconds, so nothing special.
The second week is even worse. From the 20th onwards, the swell drops right off, with knee-high or smaller waves. There’s one morning, the 20th, that goes glassy, but the swell is only 2ft and the combined energy is a weak 40. It’s just not enough to do anything with. The conditions stay clean-ish on the 25th with a cross-offshore wind, but again, the swell is a pathetic 0.7ft. It’s a total flat spell.
This is a classic example of an area that can go completely blank for long periods. It’s a tough run, but that’s the way it is sometimes. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, the boards are staying in the van.
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.
