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

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