The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, 'cause this one's a snoozer. For the next 16 days, Sutton-on-Sea is basically a lake. There's a massive gap with no surf.
From Thursday, July 30th, all the way through Monday, August 10th, that's a solid 12 days with zero waves worth riding. The swell is flat, the wind is all over the place, and the conditions are just poor. Don't bother.
The water on Thursday morning is a weird 67°F, which is a massive 7° warmer than usual for this time of year. Really strange.
The only tiny window of hope is on Tuesday, August 11th, in the morning. We get a 3ft wave from the north-northeast, but it's weak. The combined energy is only 129 (weak to moderate). The period is 7 seconds, so it's a short-period windswell. The wind is offshore from the west-southwest at 9 mph, so it'll be clean. It's a beach break and it's inconsistent, so be prepared for long lulls. For a beginner, it's the best you'll get, but it's still a pretty ordinary wave.
After that, the wind stays offshore, but the swell drops back to nothing. Wednesday the 12th has a fresh 19 mph offshore wind, but only 3ft of weak swell that can't hold up.
So, there you have it. A long blank run. It happens here sometimes. The only shot you have at a wave is Tuesday morning, August 11th.

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.
