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

Scarrys faces north-east. Measured from the seabed, it is open to swell from NW 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 Scarrys 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
all tides.
Getting there
Just south of the Castle and nightclub on the sea front

Scarry is a small pebble reef brake just south of the nightclub near the beach.Works best mid to high tide.The channel is left of the groins.This break can will pick up most swells and is a good left hander.Also there are various other beach brakes in this area that work on various stages of the tide and work depending on how the sandbanks are.
