Historical data
Location guide
Saltburn-by-the-sea, United Kingdom, is a vibrant hub for surfers, offering a unique blend of scenic coastline and thrilling wave excursions. The surfing conditions here are a mixture of varying degrees of intensity, making it a favored spot for both novices and seasoned wave riders. The beach experiences a fair share of powerful swells due to its open exposure to the North Sea. On a good day, wave peaks can reach up to 3-5 feet high. These swells, paired with the beach's flat sandy terrain, generate waves with a lot of power and speed. Hence, Saltburn attracts a number of advanced surfers. Particularly during winter, the surf can become quite powerful, making it an ideal spot for experienced surfers looking for a challenge. However, Saltburn isn't solely a playground for the pros. When the tide is medium to low, beginners and intermediates can find smaller, slower waves more suitable to their skill level. This provides an excellent environment for refining surfing skills safely. The water temperature varies widely depending on the season. In summer, the temperatures hover around 15 degrees Celsius, while it drops to as low as 5 degrees in winter. Therefore, the right gear is pivotal. A good wetsuit suitable for the colder months is an absolute must. Directionally, the north-east facing beach picks up the best swells when the wind is coming from the south-west. The optimal state for surfing is during rising and falling tides. As for the best time for surfing, it's preferred to go early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the beach is less crowded. Overall, Saltburn offers a stunning surfing experience, unparalleled by many others in the UK, catering to surfers of all skill levels, with its varying wave intensities, bustling surf culture, and captivating seaside panorama.
