Surf is the face height at the beach after the swell is filtered for the way Carbis Bay faces. Arrows point to where the swell and wind come from: an arrow pointing up means from the north. Tide is the height at St. Ives above chart datum, rising ↑ or falling ↓; the rating drops when the tide is outside the window this break works on. Amber marks the sessions worth setting an alarm for. From Thursday the swell comes from Météo-France's 10-day model, which is coarser than the 5 km German model used close in. Hours no model reaches are left blank, not shown as flat.

Exposure

Carbis Bay faces north-east. Measured from the seabed, it is open to swell from N round to NE; the brighter a wedge, the deeper the water in that direction and the more of the swell gets in. Anything from behind the headlands scores nothing, however big the buoy says it is.

How Carbis Bay works

Swell
Best from the north-east.
Wind
Offshore is from the north west; anything with north-east in it is onshore and messes it up.
Tide
high tide.
Getting there
go to carbis bay beach then look straight in front of you and bobs your uncle.

this break is a legend and only works propaly at high tide there is a sweet wedge and only for BODYBOARDERS because its shorey. the wedge is great for backflips and ARS when ure as good as triston because its is local so if you go there and you are a kook then he will have you so watch out
