Surfing in the Polzeath area

Polzeath Surf Report

Surfing conditions at Polzeath including wave height, swell direction, wind direction and speed, tides times, sea temperature and weather conditions.

Polzeath beach is a very popular and safe beach break for all ages and abilities including beginners. It works well at low tide and on the push in.

Between mid and high tide, in the area below the lifeguard hut, the rocks on the left work especially well for body boarders and knee boarders, or the more experienced surfer. This section offers a steep and shallow drop that often develops to an inside section.

Doesn't work at all at high tide.

Greenaway has breaks at mid tide on a medium to large swell, 3ft and upwards. The most serious reef break in Cornwall - difficult and less accessable than others in the area.

Baby Bay is just north of Polzeath beach, best reached from New Polzeath. It is only suitable for surfing at low to mid tide.

Cowrie is just north of Baby Bay. It requires a reasonable swell for it to work. It breaks on a reef about half way between Baby Bay and Pentire Head.
