Historical data

Location guide

Exmouth, United Kingdom, offers a unique surfing experience. The surfing conditions here can greatly vary depending on numerous factors like the season, tide, and weather conditions. Situated at the mouth of the River Exe and facing directly towards the English Channel, the location can occasionally produce quality waves that can range from beginner-friendly to challenging to even the most experienced surfers. The peak surfing seasons in Exmouth are autumn and winter. During this period, storm swells from the Atlantic Ocean reach the shores, causing powerful and well-shaped wave patterns. You can typically expect wave heights to range anywhere between 4 to 6 feet, making it the perfect pick for experienced surfers seeking a high-adrenaline rush. However, these conditions can be as turbulent as they are enticing. Hence, inquiries about the daily wave and weather conditions are always advisable before hitting the waves. Mid-tide can often offer the most favorable conditions for surfing in Exmouth. The tidal movements here play a significant role in sculpting the waves. An outgoing tide can result in larger and cleaner wave faces, providing a good ride along the coastline. High tide, conversely, can sometimes cause the waves to break too close to shore, making it tricky to enjoy a long ride. But that's not to say that Exmouth turns into a surfer's desert during spring and summer. Thanks to its coastal location, Exmouth does pick up swells throughout the year. Spring and summer months usually generate smaller, calmer waves with heights typically remaining under 3 feet. This makes it an ideal destination for novice surfers or those seeking to perfect their technique. Finally, Exmouth’s consistent onshore winds contribute to its rich surfing conditions. On days when these winds align perfectly with the swell, they can produce clean, rideable waves. However, gusty winds can also whip up the sea surface, leading to choppy conditions. Therefore, for the best surfing experience, keep a close eye on the wind forecast. Benefiting from a variety of wave characteristics and surfing conditions, Exmouth serves different surfer levels. From the unseasoned novice to the high-level competitor, the opportunities to surf here are as diverse as British weather itself.
