Historical data

Location guide

Surfing in Blackpool, United Kingdom, offers a special challenge due to its unique coastal qualities. Located on the North western coast of England, Blackpool can provide some good beaches for wave riding, but it's not quite the haven that tropical locales like Hawaii or Australia might be. As a surfer, it's vital to understand that the wave quality ultimately depends on the weather conditions. Due to its geographical location, the North Sea can be quite temperamental and unpredictable. Surf conditions can vary greatly from day to day, so it's essential to check the surf report ahead of a visit. Due to the strong tidal magnetic field, Blackpool's tides are on the higher spectrum, which can affect the swells' patterns and sizes on the beach. The ideal surfing conditions usually occur during or after a storm, when strong winds blow from the west across the Irish Sea. This creates larger waves that can be suitable for surfing. While Blackpool is not a year-round destination for surfing, winter often provides the most promising conditions. The chilly water temperatures can be intense, but those brave enough to don a wetsuit and face the icy waters may get rewarded with some thrilling waves in the right conditions. In terms of the beaches itself, Blackpool has a sandy and flat beach landscape, with occasional sections of pebble and shingle. At low tide, it can be a considerable walk to get to water's edge. So timing your surf around the tide is critical to avoid dragging your board too far. Lastly, Blackpool's beaches are populated and buzzing with tourists and locals alike during the summer months or on sunny days. It's not uncommon to share the sea with swimmers, sailors, paddle-boarders and other sea enthusiasts, making it essential to be considerate and share the waves peacefully. To sum it up, Blackpool offers a different kind of surfing experience. The keen and patient surfer, willing to face the colder, challenging conditions, might be rewarded with some excellent surf sessions.
