South Shields Surf Guide

South Shields in North East England is a quite exposed beach break that does not work very often. Winter and spring are the best times of year to visit. Offshore winds blow from the southwest with some shelter here from north winds. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the ideal swell direction is from the north northeast. The beach breaks offer lefts and rights. Good surf at all stages of the tide. Sometimes crowded.
