Adventure Tips
Check the tide schedule
Optimal surf conditions often depend on tide; mid to high tide usually offers cleaner waves for beginners.
Wear a wetsuit year-round
North Sea temperatures remain chilly even in summer, so a wetsuit is crucial for comfort.
Arrive early to secure a spot
Sessions are small to maintain quality coaching; booking ahead is advised to guarantee your place.
Bring reef booties if sensitive to rocky shore
Some entry points have rocky surfaces; booties protect feet and aid traction.
