Saunton Sands surf guide

Surf: Huge beach with long, slow walls, great for beginners, longboarders and kiters. Environment: Sheltered from NW-N winds. Pay car park behind the beach. Watch out for kiteboarders when windy. Surf: General: This huge stretch of dune backed sand is known for its long, gentle, peeling waves that are perfect for longboarders, and as such has become something of a Mecca for loggers. Fairly consistent and works through the tides, it's also popular with beginners. The paddle back out can be a chore in anything other than small waves. Tides: Works on all tides. Size: Thigh high to overhead. Wind: E Swell: W Bottom: Long sandy beach. Paddling: OK when small, long paddle when bigger. Spot Rating: Fun is the key word here - popular spot for longboarders with a large, faithful crew who travel to enjoy the long, walling waves. Plenty of classic Bilbo's on show. Access: Beachfront carpark at northern end of beach accessed off the Saunton Road. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Can get busy, but manageable. Local Vibe: Friendly vibe in line-up. Environment: OK - can be sewage after heavy rains. Hazards: Rips. Season: Year round spot.
