Southerlies - Why not?

[The Great Wallsendo]

Why are southerlies not preferable in some spots whereas northerlies are?

Surely anything without a strong westerly in it is preferable over everything?

Weed and safety are reasons in certain locations mate.

How can wind affect the weed? never got my head round that one...

The way in which food deposits in certain areas also change. General rule of thumb fish with the sea on yr back. Slatey being a northley shot and cullercoats being the southerly is a good example. That doesnt always work and fish will turn up at certain places 4 whatever reason. I'm far from figuring it out. Holes change on beaches. Sand moves and scours out depressions with different direction of swells. U might of found a hole on whitley beach in a northely that produces fish, but that could well have changed during a southerly and might be up the other end of the beach. If theres weed on the beach in a northley it will be dumped up at the south end cos the swells pushing it in that direction and vice versa. U may find theres no weed at all on the beach and u can fish anywhere and u may find its all over the bloody place. LOL Confused yet?! I am!

Just depends on the mark to be honest. I know 2 or 3 marks that fish well in south/south easterly seas
