Atmosphère

Saltburn has a good setup of a main beach break next to the pier that works through all stages of the tide from 1ft-8ft+, though it's generally better on the push from mid to high tide. Occasionally there can be good hollow rights at low tide behind the pier on a medium to large SE swell....barrels to be had if your lucky! Moving east along the beach is a break called penny hole. On a good swell of 3-4ft it gives powerful rights and lefts around low-mid tide. On big days the rip flowing out between pennys and the point can prove useful...dry hair paddle outs possible. Finally the point is an extremely powerful right working from low-mid tide. after a steep take off it barrels most of the way down the reef giving fairly lengthy rides. Long paddles put off most, though it is surfed on those better days. The point generally works from about 3ft and up? The main beach is popular with beginners and the pier also provides a useful means of getting out back on the bigger...and colder days. Saltburn is hardly a secret spot and is becoming more crowded every year. However, as soon as the surf hits 6ft+ and clean the crowds soon thin and many watch from the pier as saltburns finest are in attendance! It is easy to find a quieter, even empty peak if you move to the west side of the pier. On slightly less frequent E/SE swells the waves are usually better on this side anyway. Rips can be a problem in bigger swells and srong cross-offshore W winds. Saltburn picks up swells from NW round to SE. The dominant swell direction is from the north and powerful swells occur year round. The more travelled and lined northerley groundswells generally occur in summer and early autumn due to a higher northerly track of low pressure systems heading for scandinavia. These swells often come in under light off-shore winds for up to 4-5 days, though swells generally last for 2-3 days. Autumn, winter and spring see frequent local-mid distance wind and groundswells which after an initial period of onshore winds, there might be 1-2 days of offshore surf in any given week. Saltburn still holds a surfable wave in a moderate onshore wind though. E and SE short period windswells are largely a winter and spring occurence, though do occur at any time of year. SE winds are cross-offshore so big clean conditions are possible throughout the period of swell. The water is mind numbingly cold in late winter and spring around 6 degrees, hoods are a must and you may think twice on big days...thats when the pier is handy for a route straight out the back! By late august/september the water can touch 18 degrees, but feels a bit cooler if a large swell brings in colder water from offshore. At this time of year a 3/2 steamer is all that is needed...maybe a shorty on a warm day! No real hazards in terms of marine life, though plankton eating basking sharks have been spotted from the pier. Seals are frequent visitors to the line up and even dolphins have been sighted offshore in late summer. The water quality is getting better but the water is always brown, except for those sunny days in summer when it's been calm and flat for 2 weeks and a 2-3ft groundswell appears from the arctic breaking in clear water for about a day until the water turns brown again. In bigger swells masses of seaweed from the nearby reefs accumulates on the shore line sometimes making paddle outs difficult and wipe outs a nightmare.

Saltburn is a relaxed and friendly place to surf. Keep your eyes on the charts and you'll score some classic days. I've always found saltburn to be good for shortboarding if your not quite ready for sick barrelling reef waves that are a plenty along this stretch of the east coast!
