"Sheltered at high tide when there's a strong northerly wind; and you can shelter behind the jetty and get some good, clean (small) waves...."
"If it's a howling northerly wind it's worth having a look at Gorleston on Sea. The main beach can be good, but if you go to the far northern end you can tuck in behind the harbour wall to find some shelter. The rip here is not as bad as some places on the east coast and you don't spend all of your time paddling just to stay in one place. Coming up to high tide is best as you get more shelter from the harbour wall, but bang on high tide always seems to be slack. Unfortunately there's only really one or two peaks here and it can get busy"
"There is a _strong_ cross shore rip along the whole coast. Drift with it rather than try and stay on one peak. In a lot of places the rip changes direction when the tide changes from push to ebb... means you can get in an hour before high tide and get out an hour after high tide at pretty much the same spot. Watch out for the groynes at high tide as they are not necessarily visible."
