2 waves: beachbreak and harbour wall, breaking ovwe some flat rocks...wedges up against wall...good sponging wave. park in the car park, the beach has mainy peaks and at high the is a sick wedge for bodyboarding. The Wall is very sucky and can be very hollowand power fun. A good wave when u can surf it well.
Overview
Atmosphere
Sick as long as you don't turn up with mainy people and repect the locals you will be fine.q uite a popular spot - due to close access to a number of urban areas. Best on a big swell...Porthtowan next door will generally be bigger, but the harbour wall offers a better wave
General
Its good when it works. an ok spot...nothing amazing, but you get a good standard of spongers going there. Some of the locals looka but inbred, but that's what you get being so close to the Inbred Capital of The UK...Yep, I'm talking about Camborne.
Don't fear the locals
Don't fear the locals. Very few are aggro and the ones who are, are just egotistical and wimps. Be polite and don't drop in and with the good guys you'll have no problems. The others you shouldn't worry about. There's also an after surf bonus here as with a lack of local real men, the local girls prefer the visitors. So, make sure your wetsuit isn't the only rubber you take!

Yeah went there today with two mates, locals are cool, got some funny comments for wearinga summer suit when it was freezing, a good fun size today, offshore, pretty cool as it was one of my first few times back boarding. i like it there.
