Hartlepool

Hartlepool, Cleveland

Hartlepool has a long stretch of beach going from the marina along the promenade to the north end of the beach at Newburn bridge. It works on all tides. Next is the point, a beach break with good left and right handers, working best on high tide. To the south is the Lifeguard Station, big sandbars give varying waves best on mid to high, the beach stretches for a further mile to the south with plenty of sandbars to surf.

When the swells are right, this can be a big wave spot, it is an almost totally northerly facing beach which means it goes off in a big way when the swell comes from the north. It has no headland or reef to takes the power out of the wave and what hits the beaches is just raw swell.
