Trebarwith Strand is a beach located on the North Cornwall coast, known for its scenic cliffs and wide sandy expanse. It’s a popular spot for surfers, especially when conditions are right. The beach can get quite crowded, particularly during summer. Keep in mind that the beach disappears at high tide, which can make getting to the water a bit tricky. There are some facilities available in the nearby village, including cafes and pay parking.
The surf at Trebarwith can be good if the sandbanks are in the right place; otherwise, you might find it a bit hit-or-miss. It generally works best with a south-west swell, but it can also handle north-west swells. The spot can handle swell sizes from 2ft (about 0.6 meters), and you can expect beach breaks that create both left and right waves. The best conditions tend to be with an east wind, and the ideal tide heights are low to mid. It’s best suited for intermediate surfers who can navigate the sometimes hollow waves, especially when it can lead to some close-outs.
Since it’s a beach break, the waves break over sand, which can be more forgiving for those who might wipe out. If you're thinking of heading there, just be prepared for a bit of a crowd, especially when conditions are good!
