Surf is the face height at the beach after the swell is filtered for the way Hornsea faces. Arrows point to where the swell and wind come from: an arrow pointing up means from the north. Tide is the height at Bridlington 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

Hornsea 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.

How Hornsea 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.
