Description

Towan - Newquay Towan is a beach break featuring both right and left-hand waves over a sandy bottom. It is known for its hollow waves, particularly during winter when conditions align. The spot is accessible with instant access from Newquay Harbour, and it works at all tides, although it tends to close out frequently, especially at low tide. Towan can become extremely crowded, especially with local surfers, creating a challenging atmosphere in the water. While it can produce decent waves behind the harbour during large swells, the best conditions typically occur at mid-tide, offering occasional peeling waves. The beach connects to Great Western, Tolcarne, and Lusty Glaze, making it a popular choice for surfers seeking shelter from westerly winds. Be cautious of rips, undertow, and localism, as these factors can affect your experience. Overall, Towan is a spot that requires patience and skill to navigate its often chaotic surf scene.
