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

Pease Bay faces north-east. Measured from the seabed, it is open to swell from NW round to E; 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 Pease Bay works

Swell
Best from the north east.
Wind
Offshore is from the south west; anything with north-east in it is onshore and messes it up.
Tide
mid to high tide.
Getting there
Inbetween Berwick and Edinburugh.. if you're on the A1 you can't miss it

Excellent beach break with high surronding cliffs.. easy access and good facilities..

21 Apr 2005 · JC whats the deal with st andrews evry time I`ve been its been absolute diar !!! does it ever get good and if so what makes i tick !
13 Oct 2004 · frequent surfer I frequently surf Pease as am local, tend to be at it's busiest on a Sunday. Although beach is big enough. Experts tend to stick to either the right or left hand sides where the swell is bigger
