General Description

Scratby is a small village just north of Yarmouth. It has a number of breaks but the main ones are a right and a left by the carpark.
This spot works on both a northerly swell and a southerly swell and can be surfed on all tides, although it's best on the push.

As with all East Anglian breaks the spot is pretty fickle so study the weather reports before making a serious trip.
