Stormrider Description
7km of beachbreak peaks, loads of room so easy to find a quiet peak.
Busy with Plymouth surfers, access can be limited in parts by the military. Access from Tregantle, or various other points along the length of the beach. No parking near the beach.

Local Knowledge
Pretty consistent south coast spot. Regularly populated by Plymouth surfers as its only a stones throw from the city. Highly effected by the tide. At low tide the entire beach is fully exposed and at high tide only parts of the beach are exposed via different access points down the cliffs. The most popular point is the one accessible via the MOD firing range. Break is highly dependent on the banks which change consistently throughout the tide and depending on the previous storms. Can vary from steep walling sections to crumbling slop. Peaks are often pretty shifty, but this is an advantage when it's busy, allowing you to get a wave. Can be rippy if it's windy and the tide is changing.

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.
