The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and miles for you. Sutton-on-Sea is looking pretty grim over this 16-day stretch. Let’s not sugarcoat it – there’s almost nothing to get excited about.
First few days are dead. Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th are showing waves around 0.7ft to 1ft, with the combined energy barely a whisper (20 or less). Water temp on Sunday morning is 66°F, which is about 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a big anomaly, feels like summer hung around.
Wednesday the 9th brings the only real pulse. Morning shows a 4ft north swell with a 9-second period and combined energy hitting 212 (moderate). Wind is a fresh cross-off from the NW at 19 mph, so it’ll be clean. But the break is inconsistent, only for beginners, and the north direction isn’t ideal (it prefers north). The afternoon drops to 3ft with a cross-shore breeze, so the morning is the better call.
From Thursday the 10th right through to Monday the 21st, it’s tiny. Most days show waves under 2ft, with energy readings in the single digits or low teens. There’s a glassy moment on Friday the 11th afternoon – 0.7ft and dead calm – but you’d be hard-pressed to catch anything. The 16th has strong offshore winds at 25 mph, but only 1.0ft of swell – that’s kite territory, not paddle.
A brief moment on Sunday the 20th shows a 0.7ft north swell with a long 12-second period and a gentle offshore breeze, combined energy of 13. Clean, but tiny. That long period would be better at a point or reef, but at a beach break it’ll just roll through flat.
No standout days here. If you had to pick, Wednesday the 9th morning is the only one that might give you a dribble. Otherwise, it’s a long stretch of flatness. That’s how it goes sometimes around here. Forecasts can flip, but for now, I’d hang the wetsuit up.
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.
