Scarborough North Bay surf forecast

Name: Scarborough North Bay
Address: Yorkshire, UK

Beach break in Yorkshire, UK, scored hour by hour in NORDR against the wind angle for the way it faces, the swell direction it wants, and the tide it works on.

How it breaks

Scarborough North Bay is a sheltered beginner beach where sandbars between groynes produce mid-tide peaks under Castle Hill.

Getting there

Use the North Bay promenade, Peasholm car park or Marine Drive, then walk along the gentle beach to the active peaks.

Watch out for

Rip currents can develop along groynes and near the harbour wall.
Urban runoff and water-quality alerts can affect the bay after rain.

Crowd

Summer weekends can be crowded, with quieter surf early in the morning.

Tide dependency: not the limiter

Tide is not what decides whether this break works, so NORDR does not score it as one. Fetch, swell period and the wind angle against the beach do the deciding here.
