The Lowdown
So, here's the same thing but in feet and Fahrenheit for those who swing that way.
Alright, this is Rusty, and I'm looking straight at the 16-day window for Bamburgh. And I gotta be straight with you, it's a tough one. The whole outlook is more about waiting than riding. We've got a solid stretch of nothing going on, with almost no decent swell for the first week and a half.
The only thing that even raises an eyebrow is a tiny window on Wednesday, the 23rd of September. The morning shows a pulse of 4.6ft swell coming from the north with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at best (292), which tells you it's not going to have much punch. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it'll be a bit crinkly, not the clean perfection we dream of. It's a marginal call, and even then, it's the only thing on the menu.
After that, it fizzles back out. By Tuesday the 29th of September, we see a bigger 4.9ft north swell rolling in, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it'll be lumpy and weak. The wind is offshore though, which is a plus, but the conditions are described as "very ordinary".
Honestly, if you're desperate for a splash, that Wednesday the 23rd morning is your one shot, and it's a long shot. The rest of the forecast is a write-off.

Information about the Bamburgh Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Bamburgh provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Bamburgh can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Bamburgh surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Bamburgh) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Bamburgh may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
