Stormrider Description
In big swells and SW storms the Towan to Great Western stretch can be the only surfable option for miles. Hollow when on but tends to close-out.
Horribly crowded when small in the summer. Harbour left can get good. Site of proposed artificial reef. Small car park at south end.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
