Waves Surfed
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
A top ten English wave. This right hand reef break gets epic in a large southwesterly swell. Offshore in a northeasterly. The wave breaks on the west side of Porthleven Harbour providing a great viewpoint for surf watchers. The wave is a fast, hollow right - not for the beginner.
When Porthleven is going off it gets really busy and the quality of surfer is high.
A small swell beach break that can offer some nice waves. The beach is privately owned and has all the facilities.
Best waves can be surfed at low to mid tide.
There is an annual night surf competition at the beach and in 2008 forms part of the UK Pro Surf Tour.
Unfortunately when I was there the swell was only up to 2 foot - so, not much to say. It's actually an Awesome wave that breaks over 800 m
Im not that great at writing about surf spots but i have body boarded here and there were a few of us out so it must be an alright place to go....its at the bottom of a cliff next to a military firing range they do have lifeguards there in the summer. It has got cliffs to either side of it and a few rocks but generally a nice large beach to muck about on. Crowd wise for surfing i didnt think it was that bad but tourist wise for the beach it gets quite full.
