Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s get real about West Wittering for the next couple of weeks.
Gotta be honest, this forecast is a bummer. Almost the whole 16-day stretch is flat or offering barely a ripple. There’s no real swell coming in, and the wind is mostly messy. You’re looking at a long dry spell where the board stays in the bag.
The water is 68°F right now, which is a wild 9°F warmer than average for this time of year. That’s super unusual, so at least you won’t be freezing if you take a dip.
The first few days are a total loss. Saturday the 4th has tiny 0.3ft to 2ft swell with a 19 mph cross-on wind turning it into a chop-fest. Wave energy is almost nothing. It’s the same story through Sunday and the following week – all zero scores, with most days showing barely a bump. You get a few mornings with light offshore or glassy conditions (like the 11th and 12th) but with zero swell, it’s flat as a pancake.
There’s one tiny chance near the end. On Saturday the 18th, the morning shows a little pulse. We get 1ft swell from the WSW with a 8-second period, and the energy bumps up a bit. The wind is a light cross-off from the NNW at 6 mph, so conditions should be clean at the break. It’s not much, but if you’re jonesing for a session, that’s your best shot.
After that, the 19th offers clean 0.3ft with offshore wind, but again, no power.
With so little surf, this whole stretch looks way more fun for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. Those onshore winds are strong and consistent, but for a proper wave? Nope.
Keep watching the forecasts, something might turn.
Rusty.

Information about the West Wittering Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for West Wittering provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at West Wittering can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our West Wittering 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 (West Wittering) 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 West Wittering 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.
