Hey all...

Probably been said before, but where do you think the best surfing spots are in the UK? Woolacombe in Devon is pretty good isnt it???

It depends on the type of board you ride and what type of wave you like the best IMO. Mine is @ woolacombe - combsgate.

Wooo combesgate :D heh

Like its be said, depends on what you like and what you ride...

Personally out of everywhere I've surfed in the UK so far I'd say ***** (sos can't name it but its in North Wales) If only I could make it more consistant!

At the end of the day for me its what I'm feeling like as to where I surf depending on where I am at the time. At the mo right here.. its combesgate all thr way excepet when the reef in out back garden is working... But thats somthign else I'm shhhh about.

Surf spots N Wales

Postby surfdude73 » Sat Oct 08, 2005 5:20 pm

Hey guys

Surfed alot of spots on the peninsula, the spot your on about PapaWoolacombe, it's either Porth Cariad, Porth Neigwl(Hell's Mouth), Porth Oer(Whistling Sands)or Aberdaron, there is quite a few other spots which break a couple of times a year and a couple of secret spots awell, with one being a decent reef break on the north coast about 200 yards out to sea, pretty hollow I tell thee, any one else surfed this.

Gwithian in Cornwall

Postby darrenlambert » Sun Oct 09, 2005 5:03 pm

Gwithian in Cornwall offers an excellent wave. Its a huge beach and there is very little attitude there.

Yep its all good, looking foward to this week with a fairly constant groundswell and shifting winds all week I'll be seeing actions at most of the reefs :)

Get chatting to the boys at http://www.thebigchill.co.uk and get a map.

Then Wait! you'll be chart watching but when ever a system passes accross the north sea it'll send swell down but the windows of opportunity are small. you gotta be on it!
