Waves Surfed
Long sandy beach, good vibe when not crowded, a good longboard wave.
A number of beach breaks around this area, some can be seen from the road through Bube and alone the coastal road, seek and yea shall find. Be nice.
Ocean beach is a great little surf town with a variety of surf breaks. South of the pier is a consistent reef that breaks mainly left (or the suicide right will take you right into the rocks) The more experienced surfer can shoot through the pier connecting on to the beach breach break. North of the pier is all beach break with plenty of lefts and rights. On a big day be sure to use the rip currents by the pier. Further up is a break called Avalanch - a consistent left off the rock pile with scattered lefts and rights to be had. The crowd here can take some getting used to. Dont paddle out and annoy the locals. Further north of Avalanch is Dog Beach and the rivermouth/jetty. Dog beach is a great place for beginers and whitewater newbies, it stays shallow a tad longer making ths an ideal place to get to grips with surfing. The Jetty on the other hand is a critical right that produces hollow tubes on the right swell. This is not the place to go unless you are confident in your abilities. Ocean Beach is pretty consistent year round although summer doesnt pick up much other than a horde of bathers and tourists. If you catch OB on the right swell you will be in for a good time. Try to avoid low-negative tides as this often causes hollow closeouts. OB will hold up to around 8ft anything beyond that and its touch and go. Also paddle outs can be tricky as the size increases as there are no channels other than a rip next to the pier.
a super hollow and fast break when it's on. especially in front of Imperial beach blvd. and Descanso. Sweet lefts off north side of pier
One of the UK's premier surf spots. Located a short walk from Newquay Town Center. A lovely beach, patrolled in the summer months by lifeguards. The break works on pretty much all swells and tides and under the right conditions products quality hollow waves. Offshore E/SE
Croyde is a small village in North Devon and a classic beach break. It is a magnet to surfers from all over the country and gets extremely busy. There are waves on all tides but this spot really goes off at low tide. On a good swell in an easterly offshore there are barrels all over the place. It can get fast and hollow pretty quickly. Many boards have been snapped at this break! Although the break is ok for beginners once the swell gets over 4ft it is really for the more experienced surfer.
Has turned into more of a long board brake over the years but when a good size swell comes through you can get some good rides.
One of the main beaches in Newquay. More open to swell than some of the surrounding beaches and does catch a lot of swell. Offshore ESE and works on all tides on a west swell. This beach gets very busy in the summer with all the tourists giving surfing a try.
The main break at Widemouth is the beach breaks all along the bay here. There are plenty of peaks and normally plenty of people. The waves break on sand although there is a reef at either end of the bay. The beach is lifeguard patrolled during the summer months and also has toilets and a cafe. Gets heavy when big.
Popular North Devon beach and reef break that produces good waves. Very busy especially in the summer. Can be surfed on all tides and gets plenty of swell as the break is quite exposed to west and north west swell. Offshore easty.
Nice beach break - can break close to shore though. Good for skimboarding on those days
