Located in Yorkshire-Lincolnshire, England, Hornsea is an alright beach break that offers up some decent waves with performance sections for turns and hacks. The waves here are pretty easy to surf and break for up to 50 meters over a sand bottom.

What are the best surf conditions for Hornsea?

Gets good between waist high and 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 does not break often (3/10) and will generally be uncrowded (3/10). The best winds are from the Southwest. The best swells are from the East. Works on a low to mid tide best.

We recommend wearing a 4/3 in the summer when water temperatures rise to 16 degrees. In the winter a 5/4 is best when water temperatures drop to 7 degrees. See the temperature chart below for more data on this.
