Historical data

Location guide

Maenporth, situated on the southwestern coast of the United Kingdom, is a small yet captivating stretch of coastline that comes with its unique set of surfing conditions. Known primarily for its tranquillity and natural beauty, Maenporth may not always be the first choice for seasoned surfers looking for the most extreme conditions. Yet, it still holds a distinctive charm for those who appreciate milder sessions intertwined with the stunning visual treat of the surrounding scenery. The waves at Maenporth tend to be of a gentler disposition, making it a great spot for beginners or those who prefer tamer rides. The beach catches smaller swells, primarily providing mellow rides that are more suited for longboards or funboards. The area is best suited for surfing during low to mid tides, whereas high tide tends to temper the energy of the waves. The beach faces eastward, which means it's quite sheltered from the prevailing south-westerly winds. This condition usually results in cleaner and less choppy waves. However, do remember that this isn't a place known for consistently good surf conditions. Swell and wind conditions are often changeable, and they can greatly dictate the surfing experience on a specific day. The different seasons also play a part in the surf conditions at Maenporth. During the summer, the surf tends to be minimal due to the calm weather conditions and lesser swells. On the contrary, the winter months can bring sizeable waves when the conditions align just right, thanks to the strong Atlantic swells. Lastly, the water temperatures vary considerably throughout the year. Summer might see a rise up to a tolerable 16-18 degrees Celsius, but in winter, it can drop to around 8-10 degrees Celsius. Hence, a good quality wetsuit is an essential piece of gear for either season. In conclusion, Maenporth might not be the surf capital of the UK, but it certainly offers enjoyable surfing conditions that can not only challenge beginners but also offer a relaxing and scenic surf session for the more experience surfers. As always, be aware of local conditions, respect the nature, and enjoy the surf.
