Portreath - The V is a surf spot located in Cornwall, known for its unique wave conditions. It’s a right-hand break that forms off the harbour wall and is popular among more experienced surfers. This spot isn’t for everyone, as it can get pretty heavy, especially at high tide. It’s not the most consistent spot around, so be prepared for varying conditions.

This place works best with a west swell direction, but it can also handle swells from the southwest and northwest. The waves generally break over sand and can handle sizes around 2 ft (0.6 m) and above. When the conditions are right, especially with high tides and southeast winds, you might find some decent rides here. Do keep in mind that the wave can get very steep and close to dry shore, so it's usually better for more experienced surfers.

For those looking to surf here, the best times are during high tide when the waves are at their best. If you’re in the area, it’s worth checking the conditions and giving it a go, but just remember that it’s usually left to the bodyboarders when things get heavy. Make sure to keep an eye on the surf reports before heading out!
