Insp Richard Mallett, head of the force's roads policing unit, said sober drivers were forced to weave around potholes, masking the erratic behaviour typical of drink-drivers.
He added that the current conditions of the roads were a "concern". Surrey County Council said it has had to cope with about 21,000 potholes caused by flooding.
Insp Mallett, said: "Anecdotally, it makes it more difficult for us to spot the drunk drivers as everyone is weaving about around the potholes."
