Located in Durham, Northumberland, England, Whitley Bay is not a bad beach break that offers up some decent performance waves and good protection from stormy conditions. The waves here are not all easy to surf and break for up to 100 meters over a sand bottom.
What are the best surf conditions for Whitley Bay?
Gets good between waist high and double overhead. We recommend riding a longboard here when smaller and a shortboard as the size picks up. This break is suitable for all levels of surfer. The surf here is pretty consistent (6/10) and will generally have a crew (6/10). The best winds are from the Southwest. The best swells are from the East, North, Northeast, and Southeast. Works on a mid to high tide best.
We recommend wearing a 4/3 wetsuit in the summer here when water temperatures rise to 15 degrees. In the winter a 5/4 is best when water temperatures drop to 6 degrees. See the temperature chart below for more data on this.
