Fistral Beach
Newquay, Cornwall, United Kingdom
The UK's best-known surf beach, with consistent swell and lots of surf schools. Bring a thick wetsuit.

This is the swell out at sea, not the surf on the beach. How big it breaks here depends on the swell’s direction and period, the sea floor and the tide. Check a surf report for the size.
