Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Hey, Rusty here. Gotta call it like it is – Walcott’s got nothing going on over the next 16 days. This break is inconsistent anyway, so a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area. Still stings when you’re itching for a wave.
Water temp is 63°F, which is about 5°F warmer than usual – so the ocean’s nice and warm, even if the surf’s not.
From Monday 6 July through Saturday 11 July, the swell is tiny – heights barely 1–2 ft, periods short, and winds are mostly cross-onshore or onshore. Combined energy is weak, always under 25. Sunday 12 July sees a jump to about 5 ft from the NE, energy hitting 133–147 (moderate), but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph, making it lumpy. Still poor.
Monday 13 July and Tuesday 14 July bump up to around 5 ft, energy in the 198–212 range. But winds are onshore or cross-onshore from the NNE at 12–19 mph. That’s messy surf. Wednesday 15 through Saturday 18 July drop to 3–4 ft, energy 50–82. Winds stay cross-onshore mostly, though Saturday afternoon shows a cross-off from the SSE at 22 mph – could be clean, but the swell is only 4 ft from the N with a 6-second period, energy just 74. Still poor.
Sunday 19 July to Tuesday 21 July – swell fades to 1–4 ft, energy 21–92. Winds onshore or cross-onshore. Tuesday afternoon has a long-period 11-second groundswell from the N at 1 ft, but it’s tiny and the wind is light cross-onshore. Not rideable.
If I had to pick a moment, Tuesday 14 July morning has the most size at about 5 ft, but with onshore wind and short period it’ll be a choppy, closed-out mess. Too big for beginners, not good enough for anyone else. This is a classic “stay home and check the forecast next week” situation. Could change, but for now, the ocean’s flat and quiet.
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.
