Beginner Surf Breaks |
|
||||
| 1. Watergate Bay, Newquay, Cornwall | |||||
Watergate Bay benefits from having two miles of beach at low tide, therefore if it happens to get busy on the beaches in Newquay it does serve as a great overflow although it is a great beach in it's own right - it does get busy towards high tide but that is a testament to the break. This is the location of Oliver's Fifteen Cornwall. |
|||||
| 2. Saltburn, Cleveland, north-east England | |||||
At Saltburn a decent beginner wave can be found on either side of the pier. It is a locals break but also known as a friendly break. |
|||||
| 3. Pease Bay, Borders, Scotland | |||||
Part of the growing Scottish surf scene and known as one of the most popular breaks in Scotland, with a good beach break and a challenging reef for the better wave riders amough us. |
|||||
| 4. Llangennith, Gower, Wales | |||||
One of the most popular surf spots in Wales with a healthy beach break right along the three-miles of beach. It's can get crowded when the breaks are working but with three miles to play with there is something for everyone. As with many beach breaks when it gets big getting out back can be hard work and there are rips so be careful. |

Intermediate Surf Breaks |
|||||
| 5. Sennen Cove, Cornwall | |||||
Sennen Cove is one of the most consistent breaks in Britain due to being such an exposed location, Sennen holds good size waves and often has surf when its flat everywhere else. |
|||||
| 6. Bantham/Bigbury, Devon | |||||
Bantham/Bigbury generally picks up more swell than other south Devon beachs and offers a variety of peaks depending on the tide. Great for longboarding. |
|||||
| 7. Bournemouth / Boscombe , England | |||||
Bournemouth / Boscombe would not be the first place you would think of as a surf spot. The addition of an artificial reef break will improve the waves and locals say it is improving now the sand is bedding in. A good offshore wind makes Bournemouth / Boscombe a bit of a dark horse and the surf has been getting up this season either side if the pier but a big fast beach break can be common. Similar quality and sometimes bigger and less crowded in Highcliff just down the road. Poole Harbour and the sandbanks are great for Windsurfing and SUP with a huge Kite Surfing community. |
|||||
| 8. Porth Neigwl/Hell's Mouth, Gwynedd, Wales | |||||
|
Arguably the best known surf in North Wales, Hell's Mouth is four miles long with a good swell. The pick of the waves lie beneath the cliffs at the south-east end of the bay. It will be crowded when a good swell gets up but like Llangennith there's a lot of beach to go around so find your spot! |

| 9. Thurso East, Scotland | |||||
Thought of as one of the best waves in Europe. A right-hand reef break over a flat rock shelf that is covered in kelp. Best on a big north west swell but it can get busy so a little respect for locals is required. |
|||||
| 10. Freshwater West, Pembrokeshire | |||||
A very large beach with heathly rideable waves right along. The breaks can be big and there are a couple of other good breaks in the small bays to the south. In the same location there is one of the heaviest, and haxardous reef breaks in Wales that would test the nerves of the most seasoned surfer. Good to Take note that there is an army firing range above the beach to the south and if you are caught surfing without permission you can face prosecution. |
