Saunton sands just round the corner from croyde would be a safe bet. It's huge and you'll be able to get away from the crowds.

Dunnet Bay just outside Thurso!

I learnt there, it's better than any suggestions of places in the south west of England*

It'll just be you and your instructor on a huge beach with fantastic waves, (it may be slightly chilly).

I agree. RP some of the most consistent swell, apart from Ireland, probably the best wave in the UK, (worthy of a 6* WQS) only trouble is the hike up there.
Got a few friends who did the trip, and man is their footage good.


I can't back the statement either, but i've surfed the SW, and most of the rest of the UK, and the only place i aint surfed is Scotland. The SW is overrated. apart from the slightly more consistent swell it recieves, its a pile of poo.
