Mawgan Porth

Mawgan Porth is a deceivingly large golden sandy beach, especially when the tide is low. It is separated from the main coast road by a band of sand dunes at the back of the beach. It offers up great waves for surfing, picking up whatever surf is out there, even providing ripples on some of the smallest days. However, caution must be taken when the surf is rough, waves are often powerful and rips strong, however, this can often be one of the best options on the smaller days.

We would usually choose this beach as our chosen location to surf when the tide is mid to low throughout the day and when the swell is small and the wind is light south to south east.
