Withernsea surf guide

Withernsea is a beach located on the east coast of England, known for its beach breaks. It’s a bit like a fallback spot when the better waves further north are not workable. The atmosphere here is pretty laid-back, making it a decent place for surfers looking for a low-key day on the water.

The surf at Withernsea mostly offers lefts and rights that break over sand, with optimal swell coming from the north and a swell size that can handle around 1ft (0.3 meters). You’ll often find it works best with a south-west wind, and the preferred tide is low to mid, giving you a fair amount of time to catch some waves. Just keep an eye out for some groynes on higher tides, as they can make the surfing a little tricky. There’s also a noticeable longshore drift here, so be ready to adjust your position as you ride.

The beach is a good spot to relax after a session. Parking is easy since you can park right by the beach. Just make sure to check the conditions before you head out, as it can be a bit hit or miss depending on the weather.
