More about Great Western surfspot
General: Another of the Newquay town beaches, this cliff lined cove opens out at low tide into a large expanse of sand. Popular in big winter storms when the southwesterly winds ravage all the other north coast breaks. Mostly close-outs but occasional banks form. A great spot for summer beginners. Parking close by in town. Tides: Low to mid. Size: Waist to shoulder high. Wind: SW to SE Swell: W/SW Bottom: Sand. Paddling: No real channel so lots of paddling. Spot Rating: Mostly a close-out. Fun for beginners when small.
Good for any and all surfers.
Pay car parks short walk from beach.
December - February.
Crowd Factor: Busy in storm swells and summer. Local Vibe: Chilled or chaos.
Clean.
