Historical data

Location guide

The surfing conditions at Gyllyngvase, also known as Gylly Beach, in the United Kingdom can be described as moderately challenging. The location is on the south coast of Cornwall, in the South West of England. While the South Cornish coast is not as renowned for surfing as some parts of the West Coast, Gylly Beach does offer some opportunity for keen water sport enthusiasts. With the right conditions and tide times, surfers might enjoy Gylly Beach after a solid storm particularly for the protection it offers from the south-westerly winds. It is a popular spot for learners as waves here tend to be more manageable and slower breaking than at some other beaches in Cornwall. The sea is usually at its wildest during or after a storm with large, reasonably peeling waves to ride. However, these conditions are rare as the beach lacks consistent surf from groundswells and windswells. Gylly Beach often sees flat days when the sea is calm and the waves are all but non-existent. During summer months, Flat Day SUP (Stand Up Paddleboarding) becomes a favorite choice for visitors, with the clear waters and rich marine life creating a relaxed, scenic adventure. Although this time of year tends to get crowded, as this beach happens to be one of Cornwall's popular locations for sunbathing and swimming. The best time to catch waves here is either side of high tide. Additionally, the beach is more suited for intermediate and skilled surfers - particularly for those who are good at reading and predicting water conditions. A valuable piece of advice for surfing here is to always be mindful of the multitude of submerged rocks that can pose threats during low tides. Safety measures are thorough in Gyllyngvase as lifeguards patrol the beach in the summer, ensuring that the beach remains a safe place for surfing and other water sports. Yet, colder months might lack these measures, so caution is advised. In the end, Gyllyngvase offers a unique opportunity to enjoy surfing in a stunning natural setting, where conditions can range from calm to exciting, depending on the day.
