Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Much underated by the locals, the swell needs to be a fair size to make it round filey brigg, it holds about the same size as southbay scarborough, but does not get the same protection, ie if Cayton is 5ft then Primrose will be about 2ft, depending on swell direction the more east the swell the more primrose valley will get. On road between scabs and brid look for the primrose valley haven signs then drive right into the campsite and park on the left on top of the cliffs.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
It rarley gets crowded, simple reason being everyone thinks it's bad, it's not, it has some real punch waves, not fast not hollow just a nice shape to work, weave and carve to bits.
Tends to back off at high tide, and your almost always guarenteed to get the beach to yourself, if south bay scarboroughs clean but heaving then head to primrose, it is always mellow but long rides are possible, it never gets really heavy even when it's big, but it has enough umph to make anybodys day. |
| |
General |
It's very underrated by locals, but can be a classic afternoon of quilty chilled out surf. It always look small from the car park, if it looks about 1-2ft when you get down it will be headhigh and quality. |
