Alright mate, let’s talk straight. West Wittering is about as flat as a pancake for the foreseeable future. This sand-and-groyne spot needs a proper SW swell to light up, and we’re not getting one.
We’re looking at a long dry spell starting Sunday the 5th of July all the way through to Sunday the 19th. Nothing but tiny waves – the biggest is maybe 2ft on the 6th, but with a junk 3-second period and onshore wind, it’s just a messy closeout. Swell energy is pitiful, often in the low single digits.
The water temp is normal for this time of year, no surprises. We do get some clean offshore mornings on the 11th, 12th, and 14th, but with waves barely an inch high, it’s just a flat, glassy lake. Not a single standout session in the whole 16 days.
If you’ve got a kite and a strong onshore wind, maybe you can get something going, but for a surfer on a paddle board? Don’t bother. This is a proper flat spell for the area, and it’s just not happening.

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.
