Location guide

Bigbury-on-Sea in the United Kingdom often offers a marvelous surfing experience, particularly for beginners and intermediates who can take advantage of the beach break on offer. However, it's important to remember that the surfing conditions invariably depend on the weather, tidal movements, and wind direction. When there is a southwest swell in combination with an offshore wind from the northeast, that's when the conditions become most favorable for surfing. These circumstances generate decent sized waves that provide a thrilling surfing experience. As the tide moves towards high, the beach tends to foster longer rides, particularly with a good swell. This makes it a highly desirable destination for the more experienced surfers looking for a new challenge. The surf at Bigbury is essentially a beach break, allowing multiple peaks to appear down the approximately 600 meters of sand. This invariably means that even on busier days, there are plenty of waves for everyone. The beach break waves can, on a great day, provide room for maneuver and turns, and aren’t typically steep or fast. The form and connectivity of the waves make them more enjoyable to catch. As briefly mentioned, Bigbury is an excellent spot for learners and intermediate surfers. Its waters are fairly safe and free from hazards like rips and rocks. Local surf schools are around for lessons and guidance. Despite the absence of intense surf conditions, it's of high importance to always follow basic surfing safety measures and respect the local surfing etiquette. All considered, surfing at Bigbury can present one with the opportunity to swim in the English Channel while surrounded by the quintessential British seaside scenery. Just remember to check the local surf forecast and make sure conditions are safe before heading out.
