Widemouth
Bay,
Bude offers up waves that are suitable for beginners to intermediate.
Because of its location, it's a popular beach that has waves along
its entire length, although the direction of the swell can make
a big difference to the quality.
Works best from mid to high tide and is surfable up to 6ft, maybe
8ft on a super-clean day. If you like fast rights, head to the southern
end at Black Rock at high tide. At middle beach a quality left can
be found. At high tide Inside Camel comes into play to the right
of the lifeguard hut, but watch out for rocks. Easy paddle out except
on big onshore days.
Good parking overlooking the beach with a take-away to keep you
stoked up for your next session. If you鈥檙e going to surf Widemouth
a lot, buy a special North Cornwall District Council seasonal parking
ticket and save yourself pounds. Popular with body boarders, long
boarders and short boarders.
