DJ - Got my car vandalised just checking the spot the other day. It was 8ft in croyde and flat round there. Can't believe I bothered with the 1hr walk there and back to check this out, only to have wax all over my windscreen and doors. Whats to protect? It must only break on super rare swells if any.

psycho - Moved to Devon in '84 and took up surfing at westward Ho! Soon got bored with that place so got an OS map and explored. came across greencliff and surfed it a couple of times on my own, but was nervous so told a couple of mates and we had it whenever it worked for the next two years all to ourselves! Then word slowly got out and the last time I surfed it was in 2001 when it was getting too busy. So it was busy before the www got to it. There is no need for hassle, no need for localism, just show each other some respect when you are out there. It takes time to work out just when it works best and which peaks to hit at the right time/swell, but you need to spend a lot of time and energy to get the best days. And when it's really good there, there will be waves elsewhere too.
It's a really good area that used to have a good vibe too. I'm really sad to hear all this bulls..t going on about it. Surfing should be enjoyable. I will come back to Devon one day to surf the cliffs again - I hope I have a better reception than a lot of the folk who have commented on this site!

Hoax - This place is always 2 foot smaller than the main breaks and extremely tidally sensitive. Half the time I go here I end up walking back to the car and going the other side of the bay or towards Bude where it will be bigger and will work for more than an hour.
