East Runton is a beach break located on the Norfolk coast, often considered the county's premier surf spot. The beach has a mix of sand and occasional rocky areas, and while it can get crowded, it offers a place for surfers of varying skill levels to catch some waves. The car park is situated on the cliff, and you'll find pay and display options.

The surf here is generally average but can produce decent waves with the right conditions. It's best for catching north swells and works well when there’s a south wind, especially around mid to high tide. The waves can pick up swells from north, northwest, and east directions, handling sizes starting from 1ft (0.3 meters) and breaking over sand. You can expect left and right waves, making it suitable for beginners looking to practice.

One thing to keep in mind is the environment around the break. Since the removal of the sewage pipe, the sandbanks have been less reliable. The area features sharp flints in some spots and can have strong currents. Surfing here means being prepared for a lively atmosphere, as it tends to be busy with other surfers.
