Location guide

Goodrington Sands, located on the stunning English Riviera in South Devon, provides some challenging yet compelling surfing conditions for both the novice and advanced surfer. Sitting between Torquay and Brixham, it is well-appreciated amongst locals and is gaining popularity with tourists as well. Being a sandy beach break, Goodrington Sands is particularly delightful when a southwest to west swell coincide with an easterly wind. When these conditions are in alignment, beachgoers can anticipate enjoyable waves reaching anything from 1 to 5 feet with regular peaks. The difficulty and growing excitement then depend heavily on the tide, swell direction, and wind condition, in combination with one's individual skill set. Typically, mid-to-high tide sees the best surfing conditions. The waves remain reasonably predictable with a smooth shape allowing surfers to carve those desired lines. During low tide, the waves tend to become steeper and faster, offering more challenging conditions generally preferred by seasoned surfers. The sandbars also come into play during low tide, creating shallow-water rides. Because of Goodrington Sands orientation, facing East Northeast, it's slightly sheltered from the full force of Atlantic swells, meaning the waves are often less powerful than other UK surf spots. However, it also means that it can provide a cleaner surf during big swells as it is shielded from the powerful winds that can ruin wave quality. The gentle gradient of the beach also creates mellow waves, generally considered sociable and easy-going. Lastly, Goodrington Sands benefits from excellent water quality and a less crowded line-up than neighbouring surf spots. This gives it an edge for beginners looking to develop their surfing skills, and intermediates wanting to experience a serene surf without intense competitiveness. Its picturesque setting, combined with the appealing prospect of fun, manageable surf, makes it an attractive option for surfers exploring the UK's south coast. In conclusion, while Goodrington Sands is not a world-class surfing destination, it provides an engaging and rewarding experience on its day. Furthermore, being located in one of the UK's most scenic coastal areas, it offers much more than just surf, making it an excellent all-round beach destination.
