Table - best surf conditions forecast for Sutton-on-Sea over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s get this straight. I’ve been looking at the charts for Sutton-on-Sea and, honestly, I’m pretty gutted to have to say this, but it’s a flat spell with no real surf to get excited about for the next 16 days. The whole run is a write-off. You’ll see readings for tiny dribbles, but the wave comment is consistently “poor surf conditions” and the scores are all zero. There’s nothing to recommend.
We’ve got a few pulses of energy, sure – like the combined energy hits 144 (moderate) on the 16th of July afternoon, and 142 on the 17th of July morning – but the swell is tiny, maxing out at 5 ft, and the wind is always cross or onshore, making it choppy and messy. The swell direction is pinned from the NNE/NE, which isn’t really the optimum for the spot. The water temp on the first record is 67°F – that’s far warmer than normal for this time of year, which is unusual, but it doesn’t help the waves.
You’ll see a few cleaner windows later – like the 19th of July morning with a light cross-off breeze, and the 22nd of July afternoon with a gentle offshore – but the swell is still pitiful, under 3 ft. It’s just not enough to push in. Even the longer period stuff (8 to 9 seconds) is too small. With such weak energy and poor quality, this is more of a paddleboard or kite window than a surf session. For a beginner-friendly spot that’s inconsistent and occasionally breaks, a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area. Don’t hang your hopes on it. Stay tuned because forecasts can change overnight.

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.
