Location guide

Surfing conditions in Holywell Bay, nestled along the United Kingdom's Cornwall coast, are associated with their own unique challenges and delights. Known for its expansive, sandy beach and temperate weather, Holywell Bay is a popular destination for surfers of all skill levels. The beach is dominated by an imposing island just offshore which makes for quite an attractive backdrop as you surf the waves. The surf here can vary widely depending on the season and weather conditions. Generally speaking, the most suitable time for surfing at Holywell Bay is on the push towards high tide. This time frame usually offers the most consistent and enjoyable conditions for surfers. The Bay is quite open, which means it catches a good amount of swell. It's particularly good on a North West to South West swell, providing waves in the 3-8ft range. Therefore, it can offer some decent waves for both beginners and more experienced surfers. However, you'll want to be wary of the rip currents that can occur at all states of the tide. They can make surfing more challenging, especially for those still mastering their skills. Besides, when it gets really big, the waves can close out – which refers to a wave breaking along its length all at once, instead of peeling along the shore – making proper surfing impossible. The water temperature at Holywell Bay is moderate, though it does get colder in the winter. Wetsuits are a must for the majority of the year, with thickness varying depending on the season. Summertime typically sees water temperatures in the mid-teens Celsius, making it more comfortable for long surf sessions. In conclusion, while Holywell Bay can be a fantastic spot for an array of surfers, it's essential to be knowledgeable about the potential challenges, including fluctuating temperatures and occasional rip currents. Always remember to respect the ocean and enjoy this beautiful location at its finest.
