With the British summer coming to the end, although London has just seen a September high of 26 degree, why not take one last trip and hit the seas.
It may be your first time, or you may have travelled the world to catch the best waves but here’s a complied list of the best spots that are on your doorstep. Most of you avid surfers will know these so it’s up to you to discover more secret swells;
Surfing the UK: Newquay, Cornwall
You’ve probably heard Cornwall is a hotspot and most commonly associated with the sport over here, for good reason; the Duchy has more waves, more often, than anywhere else in the UK. The shoreline is decorated with beautiful beaches, winter water temperatures that aren’t too skin-bittingly frigid, and Newquay is a marvellous example of a Great British seaside town. Not to mention the abundance of surf schools for those of you ready to learn to ride the waves.
Surfing the UK: North Devon
The swell over in North Devon may be fractionally less than Cornwall but still mimics similar beaches on a fairly short coastline. Saunton Sands is the perfect spot for beginners with gentle waves. There’s also Putsborough and Woolacomb nearby.
Surfing the UK: The Gower, South Wales
Next up, Wales, at just the right position to catch the full power of the the North Atlantic swell. The majority of wave consistency activity is concentrated around the Gower peninsula, Llangennith.
North Wales also has a “surf lagoon” situated in a fold of the Snowdonia mountains. The Surf Snowdonia wave pool, powered by Wavegarden technology, opened in the summer of 2015, and pumps out waves of various sizes every 90 seconds.
Surfing the UK: Bournemouth, Dorset
The south coast is the final pick; There are waves boarding the whole of England’s southern seaboard, in fact, although west is best. Dorset gets some good waves and swell but mainly because it is closer to London for you to have a quick weekend getaway.
