cot valley reef Surf Spot Guide, UK Nestled in the wilds of West Cornwall, Cot Valley Reef delivers raw, powerful reef breaks over sharp rocks that reward experienced surfers with uncrowded sessions and pristine waves. This rocky reef spot fires up on west swells under east winds, creating punchy rights and lefts in a serene […]
Paddle out can be long and tedious due to a small rip that sweeps the length of the pier and away from the break. Easiest to jump off the rocks that are parrelel with it. If you get caught in the rip don't worry, it runs into the harbour(which is calm and not very busy).
Needs to be going off! Very Sheltered so the right side of the beach towards Hawks Point is the only place to get breaks... dead calm most of the time but I've surfed 6ft+. Very safe beach. Never red-flagged so even in semi storms you can ride.
Machrihanish Surf Spot Guide, UK Nestled on Scotland's wild west coast, Machrihanish delivers a powerful left-hand point break that peels over a sandy bottom dotted with rocky outcrops, offering rides that can turn ledgey and rewarding on the right swell. This spot captures the raw essence of UK surfing with its isolated beauty and uncrowded […]
Best time is usually in the morning, like 8:00am or in the evening from 6pm until darkness. It's a beachbreak so paddle on, duck-dive and surf until your arms ache.Be careful not to enter the "swimmers zone" (between the blue flags), as there is strong current and the lifeguards take their job serious.
Due to the easy access and large car park with surf bar/restaurant it's a famous spot for travelers and locals. Waves are very reliable here and there are many peaks, although it is often quite crowded with surfers of mixed abilities dropping in relentlessly.
UPDATE: the parking lot is now closed to Camping Cars and vehicles over 1.80m
Park the car in the car-park behind the dunes next to the road. Walk over the dunes and you are there. To the south there is a big collapsed jetty which shapes lefts breaking off it. There is also a small wooden jetty that sometimes creates worthwhile sandbars.
