Surf Challabrough

Challabrough - South Devon, UK Challabrough is a beach break featuring both right and left-hand waves, with a sandy bottom interspersed with rocks. The waves are known to be hollow, fast, and powerful, making it a challenging spot, especially when the swell is large. It works at all tides, with optimal conditions during rising and falling tides, and is best suited for experienced surfers due to potential hazards. Located in a picturesque bay, Challabrough attracts both locals and visitors, offering a more relaxed atmosphere compared to nearby Bantham. Access is straightforward, with a short walk from a small car park behind the beach. The spot picks up slightly less swell, making it ideal for autumn and winter surfing from October to February. However, caution is advised due to submerged rocks and strong currents, particularly when the waves are big. The local vibe remains friendly, but expect crowds on weekends.
