Scratby surf guide

Scratby is a surf spot located along the coastline that has its own unique vibe. It features a small cliff top car park which offers a basic but convenient access point. The beach is primarily a sand break, making it a popular spot for surfers looking for a quick session. The atmosphere is laid back, and you can often find other surfers who are friendly and willing to share tips about the spot.

The surf here mainly works best with north and northwest swells, but it can also handle some south swells. It can produce fast, hollow beachbreak waves that break left and right. The ideal swell sizes for Scratby range around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters), making it suitable for those with more experience. The spot is known to be quite rippy, with a strong current that can make paddling back out challenging. It's recommended to surf during low, mid, or high tides, and the best wind direction is from the southwest.

If you're planning to surf at Scratby, make sure you're confident in your abilities, as it tends to favor more expert surfers due to the tricky conditions. Bring your A-game because while the waves can be solid, the rip currents can be just as intense, and you'll need to manage your position in the water carefully.
