Durham & Northumberland Surfing

The North East is home to two contrasting surf experiences, the urban, polluted waves around Tyneside and Middlesbrough and the pristine, uncrowded wilds of Northumbria. Similar to Yorkshire, Arctic N swells bring the area's reefs, points and beaches to life at any time of year. Rare SE swells from small North Sea, low pressure systems, also deliver the goods. Autumn or winter is the go.
