Description

Falmouth Beaches (Gylly, Swanpool, Maenporth) - Falmouth, Cornwall Falmouth Beaches feature a sandy beach break with waves breaking both right and left. The spot works best with a swell over 0.5 meters, particularly on a 3-meter+ south/southwest swell, complemented by favorable winds. It can also handle larger swells, occasionally reaching up to 6 meters, especially from the west/northwest. This surf destination comprises three main beaches: Maenporth, Swanpool, and Gyllyngvase, each offering easy access and parking. While the surf scene can be competitive, particularly among locals and university students, it remains relatively uncrowded during the week. The best conditions typically arise from December to February, attracting surfers of all levels. Be prepared for varying board types in the lineup, and always check the forecast before heading out, as quality waves depend on the right Atlantic storms or swells.
