Bantham surf guide

Bantham is a popular surf spot located in South Devon, known for its beautiful sandy beach and the nearby River Avon. This beach can get quite busy, especially during the summer months, as both surfers and beachgoers flock to enjoy its offerings. The parking situation involves finding a space in the village or on the Bigbury side of the river, which can sometimes be a challenge, but itโ€™s worth it for a day of surfing.

The surf here is mainly a beach break with consistent waves. It works best with a southwest swell and can handle sizes from about 2ft (0.6m) upwards. The waves break over sand, making it a good choice for surfers of all levels. You can expect both left and right waves, with the best conditions coming from a northeast wind. The spot is versatile, working well at low, mid, and high tide, so you have some flexibility when planning your session.

Itโ€™s crucial to be aware of the strong rips that can develop as the swell size increases, particularly during bigger swells. This spot has a peak right at the rivermouth and another on the main beach, giving surfers options depending on their skill level and preferences. Overall, Bantham is a reliable place to hit the waves and enjoy some classic beach surfing.
