Alright, Rusty here again. Lookin’ over Walcott, and it’s a dry spell for sure. There’s a big gap of nothing before you even want to bother.
First real chance is Sunday, July 19th, and it’s nothin’ to write home about. Water temp is runnin’ about 3° warmer than usual, sittin’ at 64° – that’s pretty unusual for this time of year.
So, Sunday the 19th – we’ve got a tiny 3 ft swell from the NNE, with a short 7-second period. The wind is light out of the west at 6 mph, givin’ us a clean, cross-off breeze. Combined energy is a weak 84. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. This spot is inconsistent, so don’t expect much.
Monday the 20th – morning looks the same: 3 ft from the north, 7-second period, gentle offshore wind from the WSW at 9 mph, keepin’ it clean. Energy’s low at 74. Still surfable but very ordinary. Afternoon picks up a bit – 4 ft from the north, but the wind gets fresh at 19 mph offshore, clean but only moderate energy at 109. Still, nothin’ special.
Tuesday the 21st – 3 ft from the NNE, 7-second period, moderate offshore wind from the SSW at 12 mph. Clean, but combined energy is just 75. Surfable but very ordinary.
Wednesday the 22nd – 4 ft from the north, 7-second period, with a fresh 19 mph cross-off from the WSW. Combined energy is moderate at 103. Clean, but ho-hum.
That’s your best bet, and it’s a weak one. The whole 16-day window is mostly blown out or just too small. There’s no standout day – nothin’ worth droppin’ plans for. The lack of quality swell is just the way it is right now.
Don’t hold your breath.
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.
