skerrys
Edit SpotAbout
this spot is the best in east yorkshire
Atmosphere:
i grew up surfing here, can be both good and bad and sometimes dangerous. only gets crowded in the summer.
Additional Info:
the lefts are fast and longer than the rights, plenty of car parking, friendly locals, on good days this place barrels like mad, at high tide a shorebreak develops which can catch you out.
