North Devon
Surfing in North Devon is an unforgettable experience. With some of the most spectacular beaches in the UK, North Devon is a surfer’s paradise. From Croyde to Woolacombe, Puttsborough, Westward Ho! and Saunton, there are miles of golden sand, clear turquoise waters, and consistent waves. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced surfer, you can enjoy great conditions.
Saunton is known for its gentle beach breaks, ideal for learners and longboarding, while the more adventurous can explore more challenging surf spots like Croyde or Woolacombe at low tide along the rugged north coast. Puttsborough is sheltered from the prevalent south westerly winds and often has a more sheltered wave when the wind comes from the south. Westward Ho! Is a great break and has surf schools right by the beach and is better surfed outside of high tide.
