North East England Surf Breaks
North East England is quickly becoming of the most sort after destinations in the UK to surf. With Arctic generated N ground swells storming down the coast mixed with SW and W winds creating some fierce surfing conditions when mixed with the cold north sea waters. A great road network means more and more surfers are venturing north rather than heading south to the more common and well known destinations. Most beaches also have great access with plenty of facilities locally up and down the coast. Tyneside and Middlesborough are quite heavily polluted areas where further north in Northumbria things are quite the opposite. Tyne mouth is the center of surfing in Tyneside.
