Description

Praa Sands - Cornwall Praa Sands features a beach break with both right and left waves, offering ordinary power. The spot works best at low and mid tide, particularly when the swell comes from the southwest and the wind is from the north or northeast. Access is straightforward, with a car park overlooking the beach and instant access within 5 minutes. Located on the south coast of Cornwall, Praa Sands is a favored surf destination, especially during winter months when solid waves attract many surfers. The sandy beach stretches about 1 km, providing various peaks to accommodate the crowd. While it can get busy, particularly from December to February due to Atlantic storms, the atmosphere remains friendly. Surfers can enjoy a cozy vibe, and those willing to walk can often find less crowded peaks. Overall, Praa Sands is a must-visit for surfers seeking consistent conditions and a lively surf scene.
