Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Three main spots: Little Fistral (near Pentire Head); often crowded, doesn't work at high tides: North Fistral; probably one of the best beach breaks in the UK (on it's day), and South Fistral; some shelter from SWly winds, with some nice lefts off the rocks at most tides. Little / North Fistral usually fairly busy, but South not too bad. Very occaisional reports of hassling etc at Little / North, but generally 'competitive' atmosphere without being aggressive!

General |
Can be classic, can be a complete waste of time. Generally better than most other Newquay beaches (Watergate included). Go try it, but not on a w/e in summer. |

Had bit of a session at Fistral, was head high or so, bigger in the sets. Bit hard getting out, cold but very sunny. Couple of good waves.
