Putsborough Spot Guide

This quality beachbreak, at the southern end of Woolacombe Sands, can throw up some decent banks and, in a solid swell, can deliver hollow rides almost on par with its better-known and more-crowded neighbour, Croyde. The huge mass of Baggy Point, at the southern end of the bay, offers protection from the wrath of southerly and southwesterly winds that can wreck nearby spots, although it also means that the waves are usually a foot or two smaller. Easy parking overlooking the waves. Can get crowded.
