Surf is the face height at the beach after the swell is filtered for the way Gap faces. Arrows show where the swell and wind are heading. Tide is the height at Filey Bay 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 Thursday 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

Gap faces north-east. Swell inside the lit window reaches the beach; anything from behind the headlands scores nothing, however big the buoy says it is.

3 Oct 2005 · local hunmanby gap is one of the best spots on its day if you come down come down with a good attitude and show some respect for the locals (most of which ripp) if you are a nob be ready for stink eye and wax on ya windscreen!! so be nice
9 Mar 2005 · yon local a directions are wrong,,, you need to take the turn to hunmanby gap not just hunmanby, common mistake but a drastic one as turning to hunmanby takes you inland.
9 Mar 2005 · yon local just a lil warning for you first timers at the gap the current is that of filey as in it will drag you about 20 miles of where you intended to be in the first plave this usually happens when you are least expecting it like a spider landing on ya head
