Tynemouth is a village located at the mouth of the River Tyne on the North-East coast of England, 6 miles from the centre of the city of Newcastle upon Tyne. Longsands Beach is just north of the rivermouth and is a beachbreak that is best in a north / north east groundswell and west / south west offshore wind.
It can get busy here due to a large local surfing community and Newcastle upon Tyne. Best surf is in the Late Autumn through to spring with the better northerly low pressures.
