What's it like then?

[The Great Wallsendo]

Been a strange week for the amateur forecaster...

Webcam has a nice surf on at Tynemouth

Surf Report has 12ft Seas coming our way

XC Weather has medium strength westerlies which should knock it off (possibly) but Aberdeen has hoolie winds in a NNW direction

So anyone been down the beach walking the dog and able to say what it's actually like?

big swells rolling in at seaham

On Longsands webcam the sea looks terrible. Can't imagine it calming down by Sunday, but fingers crossed as I really want to get out!

Well it was just after low water when i was down there earlier so it looks worse than it is.
If you look further out to sea which i have done with the binocs its nowhere near as bad, im pretty sure sunday will be very fishable.

Good luck in the morning Lads. I will be thinking of you around 10 when I am tucking into a huge fried breakfast

Had a tough week and looking forward to a much needed lie in


Hoping for a good catch report

I fished Whitley beach this afternoon, small tides, so the only place fishable was the north end of the beach from 3-30pm. there were big rollers breaking up to 3/4s of a mile out from St, Mary's, and to the south, they were breaking at least level with the end of Tynemouth pier, and that was at half tide. A move to the north corner of Tynemouth beach was only slightly better. I saw one of the large ferries exit the Tyne and it was heaving and hoeing a bit, as were the two ships lying off the tyne, so unless the wind is light, it could be a little naughty out there.
