Polzeath

[pacey]

What's the lowdown?

Good break? What about the town itself?

Just wondering as may head there this w/end instead of braving the Newquay gangland during RTTS.

I love polzeath. Its my favourite surf spot.
Surf is usually consistant for a beginner but you better ask someone else for more detail.

Its not really a town. More a village, there is a spar and a cost cutter, a couple of surf shops and a couple of cafes. A nice camp site is on the cliff by the coast but it can get blowy so be warned.

Its dead nice atmos tho, and there is a nice walk along the cliffs if you are bored too.

Polzeath is a pretty good break.
Still crowded, but not like Newquay, and the vibe isnt too bad in the water.

Its unlikely to be working this weekend though.

dbbb, what is your shout for the weekend?
I can only get out on the monday b/h and can only see rain and crap surf all over the s/w by then

I hear ya mate, fortunate we haven't book anything in some ways, as it means we can go with the flow (or the swell)

Although I need to be somewhere I can hire kit, which is a pain! Sold my board a good time ago when I needed the cash (marooned in LA otherwise! LOL)

There's a couple of unusual features about the weather patterns right now, so there's some unpredictability from about monday onwards, but generally its gonna be a shortperiod wind chop only

I dont think anywhere will be working very well this weekend.
Weather getting steadily worse from saturday onwards too.

Still time for things to change, and the patterns are a bit weird so maybe something unexpected will get thrown our way.

There wont be any problems hiring kit in Polzeath. As always though, its a challenge to find a 'real' board that you'd want to surf
