More about Hayle Rivermouth surfspot

Fast, hollow, rivermouth sandbar that works in big swells. Needs light winds.

General: A big, sheltered expanse of shifting sands that can produce fun, walls or maddeningly fickle sections. The tide drops out and pushes in quickly, transforming a once fat peak into a sand sucking close-out. Expect rips and crowds when good. Bounces off the Bluff at high. Tides: Low to near high. Size: Thigh high to overhead. Wind: E, SE, S Swell: NW, W, big SW Bottom: Sand. Paddling: Can be rippy, currents around rivermouth. Spot Rating: Shifty, fickle, can be excellent, fat or close-out - flip a coin!

The rips here can be pretty full on so best left to more experienced surfers.
