Description
Harlyn - Cornwall, UK
Harlyn is a beach break featuring hollow and fast waves over a sandy bottom, breaking both right and left. The spot is best surfed at low and mid tide, with rising tide conditions enhancing wave quality. Expect short paddles, but be cautious of rips and localism.
This north-facing surf spot thrives during winter swells, particularly with solid southwesterly winds. Mid-tide offers the best conditions, while high tide can lead to fat, backwashy waves. Harlyn attracts a mix of surfers, from longboarders to beginners, especially when other spots are blown out. Access is easy, with beachfront parking available, but be prepared for a crowded lineup, particularly on weekends and during storm swells. The atmosphere remains generally chill, but competition for waves can be fierce, especially with local surf schools frequenting the area.
