Alright folks, Rusty here. Gonna be a long wait, but there’s a little silver lining at the end for Bamburgh.
Right now and for a solid week and a half, it’s pretty flat and sad. From Friday the 10th right through to Sunday the 19th, it’s all small, messy, and onshore. You're looking at ankle to knee-high slop with a cross-onshore breeze kicking up chop. The combined wave energy is weak, mostly under 100, with only a few pulses pushing into the low 100s, but still poor quality. Not a single memorable wave in that whole stretch. Honestly, it’s more of a beach walk and coffee kind of period.
We finally get a spark of life on Monday the 20th. That morning is the standout. The swell builds to a solid 8 ft out of the NNE with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy jumps right up to 1407, which is strong. But here’s the kicker – the wind swings around to the east at just 3 mph, and it goes glassy. That’s the cleanest you’ll see all forecast. However, that 8 ft is well into the "experts only" zone for a beach break. The swell direction is a touch off the optimum, but with those conditions, for a surfer who knows what they're doing, this is the window. The afternoon sees the wind pick up and swing cross-shore, messing it up.
After that, it drops back to small, weak, and mostly unrideable for the rest of the week. The water temp is about 57°, which is pretty standard for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
So, to sum it up: you've got a solid 10-day gap of nothing, then one very promising, but expert-focused, morning on the 20th at Bamburgh. If you're a beginner, skip this whole run. For the crew, mark that Monday morning.
Rusty.

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.

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.
