Description

Porlock Weir (The Hidden Gem) - Somerset, England Porlock Weir features a left-point break over a bouldery bottom, delivering fast waves primarily at mid and high tide. The optimal conditions arise with a southwest wind and swell from the west or southwest, particularly when the swell exceeds 2.4 meters. Access is immediate, with parking conveniently located right in front of the surf point. This surf spot is relatively quiet, making it a hidden gem for those willing to wait for the right conditions. While it can become crowded when the waves are firing, it generally attracts fewer surfers during the week. The area is known for its unique pebbly point, which can provide enjoyable winter sessions. Be mindful of local surfers who are protective of their waves, and ensure to respect the spot's environment, as pollution can be a concern. Enjoy the experience, but patience is key for catching the best waves at Porlock Weir.
