Pentewan surf guide

Surf: Rarely-breaking beachbreak needing a huge S swell, can get hollow at high. Environment: Car park by beach and camping/caravan park. Surf: General: This small beach break faces due east, meaning only the biggest Atlantic swells or storms wrap around into the bay. Offshore in westerly winds, its best when small and clean, working well from low to mid - gets a bit fat at high when there can be backwash from the steep beach. Usually crowded when working. Tides: Low to near high. Size: Thigh to head high. Wind: W to NW Swell: W to SW Bottom: Sand. Paddling: Easy paddle out. Spot Rating: Fun wave in huge storms, easily closes out. Access: Pay parking at leisure centre in campsite. Ticket gets you discount in the leisure centre cafe. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Can be one of few spots working so expect crowds. Local Vibe: Pretty friendly. Environment: Good. Hazards: Crowds - watch out for bailed boards. Season: December - February when the big storms rage.
