The North Sea Has Been Delivering the Goods, One of the Surfers That Knows Its Wiles the Best, Jesse Davies, Guides Us Through Recent Swells

At the end of October on the east coast an assortment of people converged from surf rich seaside towns like Saltburn, Scarborough, Tynemouth and Whitby. It was a notable swell. For some there are semi-ritual visits to certain locations.

After a few dormant months in the North Sea it was like a spoon had stirred in a teacup. Perhaps a teabag was swaying from side to side generating larger waves. There were some challenging conditions for a group to witness. Alternative locations scattered along the coast offered easier, fruitful pickings. It felt like a 2 – 0 score line on the larger day due to some decent waves.
