Exmouth, Sidmouth and Lyme Regis all get waves in huge SW swells and E Channel swells. Never big or powerful, but some decent set-ups for the committed. Same is true of the protected beach at Weymouth, round the back of the Isle of Portland, which is rumoured to have some reefs, but is cliffy and surrounded by treacherous waters.
Full facilities in these popular beach towns. Parking generally near the seafront to access the surf, free in winter, which is when these spots work.

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.
