Little Fistral surf guide

Little Fistral is a popular surf spot located on the UK's famous coastline. It's known for attracting a mix of local surfers and pros alike, making it a vibrant place to catch some waves. The beach is often busy, especially during good conditions, and it offers a relatively small car park on the headland for easy access to the break. The scenery is pretty great, so it's worth checking out even if you're not hitting the water.

This spot is known for its fast, hollow beachbreak that delivers some decent waves. It works best with a west swell, though it can handle swell sizes of about 2ft (0.6 meters) up to larger sizes as well. You can catch waves breaking both left and right over the sand, making it a versatile spot. Southeast winds are ideal here, and it’s best to hit the water during low tide for the best conditions. It's mainly suited for intermediate surfers, so if you're still learning, you might want to find another beach until you’re more comfortable.

When the tide comes in, be cautious of the rocks, which can be a hazard. The consistent surf and the mix of abilities around make it a good spot for watching and improving your skills. It’s definitely a spot worth visiting if you’re in the area and looking to enjoy some time on the waves.
