Hi peter.

Shipping forecast area Tyne covers Newcastle: http://www.met-office.gov.uk/weather/marin...pping_Tyne.html

Certainly a bit choppy!

You can determine how bad the sea state will be by going through the relevant sea areas enroute to Newcastle too: http://www.met-office.gov.uk/weather/marin...g_forecast.html

Looks like the roughest time will be between 6-9am. Not much fun if you get seasick.
