But the unstable nature of this coast also helps distinguish the scars (flat reefs reaching out to sea). If there is a headland that manages to withstand the constant assault off the sea you can bet that there is a scar that helps protecting the cliff. So it was at the end of the next little bay and the unruly wind-swell was transformed into a decent looking break. The problem – like so often here – is that there is no safe access from land. It would be suicide trying to climb down the cliffs. A boat and plenty of time would open you an abundance of breaks all for yourself.
Another cloud had brought some rain but was blown off by the wind quickly. But that wind that cleared up the sky was also stirring up the sea as it came from the north and was a good force 5. Nothing to gain here surf-wise nor further north as the coast bends to the west here meaning beaches facing into more northerly directions.
I returned to the parking and steered my van to the main road and southbound. The tide would stay high enough for the point down south and I decided to have a look. Just to make sure I did not miss anything up here I went for a quick detour to Runswick Bay. The bay was too exposed to the wind and the tide didn´t work on the beachbreaks here (remember that rule of thumb?).
So I continued south through the moors and reached the bay during another sunny period.
