Historical data

Location guide

Surfing in Scarborough, United Kingdom, provides an opportunity to experience the breathtaking North Sea waves. Located on England's North East coast, Scarborough boasts a long-standing tradition of watersports, including surfing, that keeps both locals and tourists entertained throughout the year. The town's sandy shores with two bays, North and South bay, both have different surfing condition offerings for visiting surfers. The North Bay, closest to the Castle headland, is the primary location for surfing in Scarborough. Thanks to its geography, shielded by the castle's hill to its south, the bay produces consistent surf that tends to pick up most swells coming from a northerly direction. Wave peaks are scattered across the bay, each possessing its own unique personality and providing a good mix of left and right-hand waves. The water can be chilly and wetsuits are a must, but the bracing North Sea temp adds an invigorating aspect to Scarborough surfing. On the other hand, the more sheltered South Bay is less consistent but can deliver wonderfully clean waves when the right swell and wind conditions align. Under the right wind conditions, the South Bay can offer some surprisingly fun and clean, albeit smaller, waves that are suitable for newbie surfers and those working on their board skills. Due to its relative shelter, the South Bay tends to hold surf a bit better in windy conditions, providing an alternative for those windy days where North Bay might be blown out. The prime surfing season in Scarborough runs from September to April, where the North Sea tends to generate more swell. During these months, surfers experience better wave quality and consistency, with the occasional storm swells, which can produce some exciting high-performance surfing opportunities. Beyond just the surf, Scarborough's old-world seaside charm, warm local community, and the plentiful surf shops make it an ideal surf destination. Despite the cold water, the passion of the local surf scene is enough to keep the stoke high, making Scarborough a hidden gem in the UK's surfing locales.
