One of the more consistent breaks in North Norfolk. Waves rarely get larger than head high and often on a bigger northerly swell the rips will have you in Cromer before you know it. Best surfing here from October through March on better autumn / winter swells. Try to catch it on the push of an incoming tide. Runton has never really been as good since they took the sewer pipe out a few years ago. Small, pretty standard inconsistent beach break when its on, slight chalk reef gives some small but sometimes nicely shaped waves normally 1-3 foot can go 4, even 5 foot on a really good day. Rips can get pretty bad, some sharp rocks on the inside and can also get pretty crowded when its on. Local surfers and kids from Cromer sometimes are a bit snobby and rude if your a learner but still great fun on a good day!
Well rounded spot when the swell comes and the tide is out
