Portwrinkle surf guide

Portwrinkle is a surf spot located on the south coast of Cornwall, UK. Itโ€™s known for its sometimes bustling beach with a good mix of locals and visitors. The beach is accessible via a path that leads down from a car park perched on the cliff's edge. While the village offers basic facilities, itโ€™s a good idea to come prepared for a surf session.

The surf at Portwrinkle is generally average, with conditions that can be fun, especially at low tide. It prefers a SouthWest swell direction but can also handle swells coming from the SouthEast and West. The beachbreak works well with swell sizes starting at around 2ft (0.6 meters). Look out for lefts and rights as the waves break over uneven reef and sand. Optimal wind conditions are from the North, and you can find rideable waves even at mid and high tides, although low tide tends to produce the best sessions. Just a heads up to watch your fins on the rocky outcrops, especially during high tide.

Though not a world-class spot, Portwrinkle can provide some fun days, particularly when the swell hits just right. It's a decent option for surfers of varying skill levels looking for a chill session. Always check the conditions before heading out, as they can change rapidly, and enjoy your time in the water!
