Spot of the Week – Croyde
August 19th, 2010
Surfer's Eye map for Croyde
Home of the UK Pro Surf Tour’s Saltrock Open and the Goldcoast Oceanfest, Croyde is the most consistent, powerful beach break in Devon.
Shapely sand peaks across the bay on all tides, but low provides much faster, steeper walls & barrels. Peaks north of the stream are generally better. The Reef, at the north end, is a quality rare R, needing very high tides or it’s a boiling rock field. Shallow sucky take-off. Needs major swell. Advanced only as errors = dents. Reef does not handle numbers so only surf it if you are with a local. Some good lefts at south end.
Here’s info on even more surf spots in Devon and throughout the UK & Ireland.
