Cromer surf guide

Cromer is a surf spot located on the Norfolk coast, known for its long stretches of beachbreak over a mix of sand and flint. The beach is quite accessible, but the rocky pier adds some unique features to the waves. While the surfing here isn't world-class, it's a solid choice for those looking to catch some rides along the eastern coast.

The surf at Cromer works best with NW swells, and you can expect waves from 0.6 meters (2 feet) and up. The east side tends to produce wedgy right-handers that run back into the pier when there's a N-E swell, while the west side is usually more consistent on bigger swells. You'll also find some slower, mushy lefts. If you head further east, you might be lucky enough to catch a rare punchy left near the rock groyne. For beginners, the mid to high tide is ideal, and the best wind direction is from the southwest.

Be cautious when surfing around here, as the flint pebbles on the beach can be really sharp. The area has groynes and a pier structure that you should keep an eye on while you're in the water. Parking can be found either by the pier (which requires a fee) or you can search for free roadside spots nearby.
