South Shields Surfer
Shields works on a medium swell but it can be flat here when theres a fun wave at Tynemouth. If theres a really big swell Whitburn Seaburn is a better option or ask directions to the 'Firing Range' by the Souter Lighthouse and you'll find a super hollow secret spot with maybe 1 or 2 locals out.
