When the wind is from the S/SW blowing sheep off Exmoor and the swell is 8'+ you might just get a wave. Don't bank on it though!
Overview
Atmosphere
Can be crowded when its working because there are very few other spots that work when this wave starts to wind off. Nice little wave though in the depths of Winter when you don't want too many duck dives.

we got lucky
I'm from Holland and juli 2007 we stayed in a cottage at porlock, we heard that this spot diddn't work a lot, so every day we drove to woolacombe and putts had some good session over therte until it got blown out, so we decided to go check Lynmouth but the crowd over there was to big and than we drove back to porlock to see if something was going on, and yes there actually was a nice 6 ft wave breaking with only 2 guys in the water ( some friendly dudes from minehead) had a good session over there
