Mawgan Porth is a scenic surf spot located in a funnel-shaped bay surrounded by cliffs. It's a well-known spot for surfers looking to escape the crowds of nearby Newquay. The beach gets busy during the summer, but it still offers decent waves for all levels. You'll find parking just across the road from the beach, making access pretty easy.

The surf here works best at low to mid tide with swells coming from the West to West-Southwest. You can expect wave heights from about 0.6 meters (2 ft) to 2.4 meters (8 ft). The beach produces fun lefts on the southern edge and rights on the northern side. When conditions are right, you can have a good time on both shortboards and longboards, as well as funboards and fish. Just be cautious of the backwash at higher tides, as it can dampen the experience. Rips can also form, so keep an eye on the water.

The vibe at Mawgan Porth is relatively relaxed, fitting for a beach location. The place is good for beginners and intermediates alike, especially during the autumn and winter months. It's a decent spot that caters to those looking for some fun waves without being overwhelmed by crowds. Just remember to check the conditions before heading out!
