Description
Porthmeor - St Ives, Cornwall
Porthmeor features a beach break with both right and left-hand waves over a sandy bottom. Known for its hollow, fast, and powerful surf, this spot works at all tides, particularly on a falling tide. It can produce sweet closeout barrels on good days, making it a popular choice among surfers.
Located in St Ives, Porthmeor boasts a stunning stretch of golden sand and rocky headlands, providing a picturesque backdrop. The beach is easily accessible, with parking options available nearby. While it can get crowded during the summer, the autumn and winter months attract more dedicated surfers. The northwest-facing beach offers some shelter from large swells, accommodating all skill levels and various board types. However, caution is advised during bigger swells due to occasional rocks. Expect a friendly local vibe, especially in the off-season, making it a chill yet engaging surf spot.
