Trip to S.Devon - worth it?

Postby Kabazz » Sun Feb 17, 2008 6:05 pm

I'm going on holiday on wednesday-friday and will be nearish to bantham & bigbury beach. Forecast doesn't look great atm but is it still worth going/bringing my board? Hopefully someone here knows the area...
Cheers

i know the area pretty well, you best bet on anywhere picking up the swell would be bantham, bigbury end tends to be smaller
