Drive from Bude to Barstable on the A39 and about 1/2 way find clovelly cross and take the turn to Clovelly.You will have to park in the expensive car park and then have a long walk down the hill. You should see the Left breaking right in front of the rocks, not for the faint hearted, often a good 2 ft smaller than Bucks Mills, this shows just how big it has to be for it to work. Hardly ever works and often is screwed up by winds making a really cold nasty experience. At some states of tide a good right albeit a little short breaks off some rocks. This maxes out quickly but offers small barrels. Needs a munting swell to make anything happen.
This Left used to be one of the best kept secrets in North Devon. Very hard to catch when its on and if there's been an obvious swell coming in dont be suprised to get some grief from the locals. If u can get any waves from them as the standard can be very high. When it gets big, which ive never seen, you have to get in from the side but that really is a once in a decade chance.
Overview
Atmosphere
Last didch attempt if everything else is totally out of control. It breaks so rarely youre going to have to be commited and lucky to get it on. So good luck if you do.
General
A lovely little village. With a pretty decent wave but because of the inconsistency you cant really base your surfing around it.
Gimp

Whoaaaa
Whats your problem mate! The guy just adds a bit of information which is easily accesible from anywhere, just take the "Surfing Europe Book" and that gives you enough information for you to score it. So what if you have surfed it alot if you were a good enough surfer to you would want to know about it. Youre the idiot matey.
