surf trip

[mdeknudt]

Hi guys,
I'm from Belgium and studying in Bournemouth... and i always go surfing there.
But i was thinking about taking some weekend-trips to explore some new places to surf at.
What would be a good new place to surf for an intermediate surfer? I've got a car so distance isn't a problem... altough not all too far please.
Thanks.
Mathieu

Being a little more helpfull as you've been hepfull by providing the info about yourself...

From B'muff your in reach of various locations on the west coast.
South Wales
North Devon
Cornwall

All have their pros/cons as anywhere does and depend upon the conditions! If you travel to the areas the obvious places you will find on a map are the best for skill level.

eg:

South Wales
Llangenith

N. Devon
Woolacombe main beach
Puttsbourough

Cornwall:
Polzeath
Perrenporth

There are many many options and exploring is the most rewarding way of finding them so have fun!

What i`ve done in the past is to buy an os map of the coast line i want to check out, and spend a flat day walking the coast path. Making notes of spots that look good and going back on a good day. With luck you could find a gem, Happy hunting.

Oh, I dunno, I thought 'Kimmeridge' was a good answer...

Bournemouth is, frankly, a bit rubbish but as well as all the spots listed by PapaW, there's several spots (some secret, some less so) around Kimmeridge which is very close to you.
K-bay has got a couple of reef breaks, and also a beachy into the bay itself. Its not as consistent as Devon and Cornwall, but will usually be picking up a good deal more swell than Bournemouth.
