Surf Report for Penhale
Surf
Wind



 
Description :
The far northly end of Perranporth Beach. Has breaks all down this stretch but the right in the far corner are the best.. the fact you need suvival equipment to survive the walk keeps down number of surfers except in summer when the holiday camp is in full swing!


Directions :
Head through the Holiday Cap on the northern end of Perranporth Cliff.. Weave your way through tourist and security untill you think you'll drive off the cliff.. kepp going for another few feet and you should hopefully be somewhere near.. new tackle the massive dunes and you should be almost there... Almost! beware the climb back up! its knackering!

Comments about  Penhale
fantastic low tide surf at 7.00am! clean glassy waves, neat line ups 4-5ft april 04! good atmosphere welcoming locals, be careful of the rip at high tide or youll find yourself in the rocks!

Deffo had my session of '04 here in December. Big surf, long racy walls and plenty of space for everyone. I give it four stars.

cross to offshore on S-SE winds, long point break , all abilities, mid-low tide, careful of the rip which runs in the same direction as the wave make getting to the peak a hassle!
