Location guide

When it comes to surfing in the United Kingdom, Torquay provides an enticing destination. Resting in the grip of the swirling currents of the North Atlantic, the region offers a range of conditions that can prove to be quite challenging for the uninitiated, but quite delightful to those well versed in the art of riding the waves. It's a predictable surfing spot, where the tides have their own rhythm and the waves dance to their cadence. In terms of wave conditions, Torquay offers a mix of beach and reef breaks that cater towards a variety of surfing skill levels. The surf here typically ranges between 1 to 2 meters on average, but when the swells are right, they can go as high as 5 meters which offers some exhilarating surfing for the daring, particularly during the winter period. The water temperature varies significantly across the year in Torquay. Winter temperatures can plummet down to around 8 degrees Celsius, likely requiring a 5/4mm wetsuit, boots, gloves, and a hood. However, summer sees temperatures climbing up to a more comfortable 16-19 degrees Celsius. This allows for lighter 2/2mm suits or even just boardshorts and rash vests on the warmer days. Torquay is also known for its wind conditions. These can significantly affect the wave quality. Offshore wind conditions are favored by surfers in Torquay for the creation of clean, ridable waves. These occur most frequently during autumn and winter months. On the other hand, onshore winds can create choppy and messy surf conditions, making for a more challenging surf session. In conclusion, Torquay is a year-round surfing destination with the variety of conditions you'd expect from a coastal town that sits at the mercy of the North Atlantic. Offering everything from gentle summer swells for beginners, to the considerable winter waves that would test the best of surfers, it is no wonder that Torquay has a reputation as one of the key surfing spots in the United Kingdom.
