Are the Durham/Sunderland beaches fishable today/night?

Sat in Darlington and can't see the sea!

Will someone be my eyes please asap...

Thanks!

Sunderland City Council : Roker Beach Webcam

Thanks. Seen those and it looks a bit surfy at the moment. Wondered if anyone has seen it in the flesh?

Thanks

Ian, log on to St Vedas surf shop. They have a live web cam of the surf. Although it is at Colldingham Bay (about 70 miles up the coast) it gives you a great up to date view of the sea conditions, which won't be too much different to down here.
I use it a lot mate...find it better than 'still' photos of the beaches on most web cams.
Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone. Battled the traffic to fish the ebb on The Hall. Stumpy first chuck so far...
