Kennack Sands is a southeast-facing beach that’s pretty sheltered. It’s a decent spot when there’s a chunky southwest swell rolling in, but keep in mind that the beach tends to disappear at high tide, so timing is key when you’re planning your surf session. It can get a bit crowded, especially when the waves are firing, so expect some company out in the water.

This beach works best with a northwesterly swell direction and can handle swell sizes starting from 1 ft (around 0.3 meters). You’ll find waves breaking over sand, and they can break left or right, giving you options depending on your preference. For those looking to surf, the wind is best coming from the northwest, and the ideal tide heights are low, mid, or high, making it pretty versatile in that sense.

Remember, Kennack Sands is mainly a beach break, so don’t expect reef or point breaks here. It's a good idea to check the local conditions before heading out, as it can vary quite a bit. Enjoy your time at the beach and respect fellow surfers!
