Tolcarne Wedge is a well-known surf spot located near Newquay in Cornwall. It's recognized for its lively surfing scene and can get pretty crowded, especially during peak times. The beach is popular with both surfers and bodyboarders, often drawing in a mix of locals and visitors looking to catch some waves.

This spot works best with a swell direction coming from the West, but it can handle swells from the Southwest and Northwest too. It’s great for various swell sizes starting from about 1 ft (0.3 m). The waves break over sand and can provide both left and right-hand waves, making it versatile for different surfing styles. High tide is the ideal time to surf here, particularly when the wind is coming from the Southeast, which helps create those punchy conditions that many surfers look for.

Since it's a beach break, the atmosphere is generally quite casual. Just be prepared for the crowd, as Tolcarne Wedge tends to attract a lot of surfers and bodyboarders, especially when conditions are favorable. It’s a good idea to keep an eye on the tide and wind to maximize your time on the waves.
