Surf is the face height at the beach after the swell is filtered for the way Blyth faces. Arrows point to where the swell and wind come from: an arrow pointing up means from the north. Tide is the height at Blyth above chart datum, rising ↑ or falling ↓; the rating drops when the tide is outside the window this break works on. Amber marks the sessions worth setting an alarm for. From Wednesday the swell comes from Météo-France's 10-day model, which is coarser than the 5 km German model used close in. Hours no model reaches are left blank, not shown as flat.

Exposure

Blyth faces east. Measured from the seabed, it is open to swell from N round to SE; the brighter a wedge, the deeper the water in that direction and the more of the swell gets in. Anything from behind the headlands scores nothing, however big the buoy says it is.

SE: 1.7 m at 8 s (swell) · 100 % reaches the beach
S: 1.8 m at 5 s (wind sea) · 30 % reaches the beach

How Blyth works

Swell: Best from the east.
Wind: Offshore is from the west; anything with east in it is onshore and messes it up.
Tide: all tides.

Long beach south of the pier; takes anything with east in it.
