Saltburn surf forecast

Reef in Yorkshire, UK, scored hour by hour in NORDR against the wind angle for the way it faces, the swell direction it wants, and the tide it works on.

How it breaks

Saltburn is a versatile beach and pier setup with sandbar lefts and rights, plus Penny Hole and the fickle shallow-ledged Saltburn Point farther south.

Getting there

Park near the pier and use the promenade steps or cliff lift, then walk south for Penny Hole and Saltburn Point.

Watch out for

  • Saltburn Point has a shallow ledge that can cause heavy wipeouts.
  • Sewage overflow risk can remain after heavy rain despite improved water quality.

Local detail

Long flat spells can be followed by powerful winter North Sea swells.

Tide dependency: not the limiter

Tide is not what decides whether this break works, so NORDR does not score it as one. Fetch, swell period and the wind angle against the beach do the deciding here.
