Surf is the face height at the beach after the swell is filtered for the way Seaburn faces. Arrows show where the swell and wind are heading. Tide is the height at Sunderland 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

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

How Seaburn works

Swell
Best from the north.
Wind
West is offshore.
Tide
mid to high tide.
Getting there
In Sunderland city, follow the coast road and it is up the road a bit from Roker Pier.

Right and left-peaking waves. Strong current can drag you north up the beach. An alternative for when when Tynemouth is getting heavy swell.
