Porlock Weir is a surf spot located on the coast of Somerset, England. It's known for its unique pebbly point that can be a bit of a hidden gem for surfers. The area is relatively quiet compared to other more popular beaches, but when the conditions are right, it attracts surfers looking for a solid wave. Keep in mind that it doesn’t break very often, so it’s a bit of a wait for the right swell to roll in.

This spot works best with a west swell, ideally around 3ft (about 0.9 meters). It can handle swells coming from the south-west or west directions. When it’s firing, you can expect long, smooth lefts that break over boulders, making for a fun ride. The waves often call for higher tide heights, and the best wind direction is coming from the south. Just remember, this spot suits intermediate surfers due to its tight take-off zone.

Since it’s not the busiest surf spot, locals tend to be protective of their waves. It can get crowded when it's on, so be respectful and friendly. Parking is available in the pay and display by the local pub, and from there, it’s just a short walk up to the point to check the surf. Enjoy your session but be ready to wait for those good days!
