The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and grim. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing doing.
Walcott is the only spot on the cards, and it’s an inconsistent beginner’s wave that’s only fairly exposed to the swell. The whole 16-day window is a write-off, to be honest. The first surfable suggestion doesn’t even pop up until August 3rd, and even that’s a joke.
Let’s run through it. For the first few days, from Saturday the 1st through to Monday the 4th, there’s almost no energy. Sunday the 2nd is dead flat with weak onshore wind. Monday the 3rd sees a tiny pulse of swell from the ENE, about 4 ft, but it’s a short-period 5 seconds and the wind is a cross-onshore, making it a choppy mess. The combined energy is weak, only hitting 92.
Tuesday the 4th actually cleans up nicely with light winds and a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell drops to under 3 ft. It’s clean, but there’s just no power. From Wednesday the 5th all the way through to Sunday the 16th, the swell basically vanishes or stays pitifully small, never getting above 3 ft. Most days are under 2 ft with energy readings in the single digits or teens. The wind is often offshore or cross-offshore, so the conditions would be glassy or clean if there were any waves, but there aren’t.
The water temp is sitting at 66°F, which is about 4° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s notably warm, but it doesn’t help the lack of swell.
Honestly, if you’re strapped for something to do on the water, the stronger winds we see on the 3rd and 14th might make this more interesting for kite surfing than for paddling out. For the surfer, this is a solid two-week blank. It doesn’t usually stay this poor for long, so keep an eye out, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend.
Rusty.

Information about the Walcott Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Walcott provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Walcott can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Walcott 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 (Walcott) 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 Walcott 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.
Walcott is 16 km (10 miles) from the city of Broadland. If you plan a holiday in East Anglia, look for hotels and other accommodation in Broadland. Broadland has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
