Location guide

The surfing conditions at Burnham vary greatly, mostly due to its geographical location and unusual tidal patterns. Burnham, located on the Bristol Channel in the United Kingdom, isn't traditionally known as a prime surf location because of these conditions. However, that isn't to say that surfing in Burnham is without its unique appeal. The first factor to consider when examining Burnham's surfing conditions is its tidal range—the second highest in the world. This results in a significant change in the surf break, depending on whether it's low or high tide. Often, the best surfing conditions in Burnham occur around high tide when the waves reach their maximum size thanks to the funnelling effect of the river mouth. On good days, the beach break at Burnham can produce average wave heights of about 1 meter, which are suitable for beginners or less experienced surfers. These waves can occasionally reach heights of 2 meters during intense storms, although these are not frequent occurrences. The onshore winds often blow from the south, which can either enhance the surfing conditions or create hazardous, choppy surf depending on their intensity. Additionally, surfers should be aware of the water quality, which can sometimes suffer due to the proximity of the River Parrett. The ambient temperature in Burnham is often cooler due to its northern position on the UK's west coast, especially outside of the summer months, so thicker wetsuits are a necessity for year-round surfing here. In summary, the surfing experience in Burnham is one that requires careful planning with tidal tables, atmospheric conditions, and a good knowledge of the local geography.
