Cromer

Updated Sun 11 Oct, 19:36

A beach break over sand and flint either side of the pier, which shapes the banks. The east side has wedgy rights running back into the pier and longer, softer lefts. Learners do best at low to mid tide on small days. As the tide pushes in the waves get faster and punchier, suiting intermediates, then dump onto flint at high. It needs a northerly to easterly swell and a southerly to south-westerly wind. Strong rips and longshore drift, plus groynes and the pier.
