Great
for longboarders, and in the right conditions at high tide then
4-5ft and powerful and a great wave to ride. I've been going
to north devon for last 10 years and found Saunton the best
beach to surf on!

Longboarders heaven, this place kicks, look out for local stylers,
Ash, Mellow Ralph, Sex Kings Rob/Chris enjoy!

A classic longboard wave, although the paddle out can be a drag
after a few hours in the water. Waves feel as if they are long
enough to get up on the nose and stay there for the next 10
minutes. Generally a mellow vibe in the water as well.
Dave, Dorset
Excellent Beginners spot! Waves can seem to go on forever! Gives
you loads of time to get a real good feel for the board before
moving on to somehwere like croyde!
