Location guide

Saunton in the United Kingdom presents a lovely surfing experience, especially known for its long, sandy beach and consistent beach break. Located in North Devon, Saunton is influenced by the Atlantic Ocean and enjoys a fairly moderate climate, which is typically warm and damp but not tropically hot. The surf spot rests on a west-facing coastline, making it a favorable spot for receiving any western and northwestern swells. This gives the waves at Saunton a gentle consistency, perfect for both beginner and intermediate level surfers. The waves at Saunton tend to be quite mellow, ranging from one to three feet in height on average. It's characterized largely by powerful, rolling waves, and the sandy beach break offers a nice ride that goes great distance. Those factors combine to make it a nesting place for longboard wave riders. Yet, in heavy swells, it can offer a faster wave which can be an exhilarating ride for more seasoned surfers. As the beach experiences a tidal range of about 6-9 meters, the conditions for surfing can change throughout the day. Best surfing tends to occur on the peak of high tide or on the outgoing tide. It's interesting to note, though, that even during low tide, the beach at Saunton can still produce small, clean waves, ideal for beginners working on their basics. For all its consistency and welcoming waves, it's worth noting that Saunton can be crowded, particularly during holidays and warm, sunny weekends. Depending on the season, surfers may need to share the waves with learners and paddleboarders. Bravura winds can sometimes play spoilsport. While offshore winds can enhance your surfing experience by cleaning up the wave faces, onshore winds might make for choppier waves, disrupting the harmony of your ride. However, compared to other nearby surf spots, Saunton is more sheltered and usually offers more favorable conditions. In conclusion, Saunton in the United Kingdom is not just a scenic spot, but also a promising and approachable surfing locale. Its gentle waves and inviting beach break provide a delightful surfing experience for both novice riders and experienced surf enthusiasts. Just be mindful of the tidal range and wind directions as you plan your surf adventure.
