Alright, let’s take a look at Sutton-on-Sea. I’ll be honest with you, partner—this forecast is a real bummer. Over the full 16-day run, there isn’t one day that screams "go surfing." The whole window is basically a long, flat gap with next to nothing on offer.
The closest we get to any kind of wave is on Friday morning, July 3rd. We’re looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the north, with a period around 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 98. The wind is blowing offshore from the west at 9 mph, which will keep the surface glassy—that’s the one bright spot. The water temp is sitting at 67°F, which is a massive 10° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual, so it’ll feel like a warm bathtub.
After that one session, it all falls apart. The swell drops to 1ft on Saturday, then to nothing for days on end. The wind gets messy, swinging around and picking up. From Saturday afternoon the 4th onward, every single report reads "poor surf conditions." The swell heights barely move above 2ft, periods are short, and the wind is often onshore or just bad. The energy numbers are tiny, mostly single digits, so the ocean is flat or chopped up.
This is a beach break, exposed to the north, and the swell just isn't getting through. For the whole second week, it’s the same story: small, weak, unrideable. Don’t get your hopes up.
It’s one of those stretches where the sea just goes to sleep. It happens around here. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a total blank. No standouts, no hidden gems. Not even close.

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.
