🏄 Westward Ho! Surf Guide
Westward Ho! is a long, exposed beach on the North Devon coast, backed by the famous pebble ridge. Its sandy stretches can offer enjoyable beach-break surf, with conditions changing significantly depending on the tide, wind and swell. Smaller, cleaner days can suit learners, while larger surf demands more experience.
Westward Ho! receives Atlantic swell across Bideford Bay. Easterly winds can help improve wave shape, whereas winds from the west tend to make conditions choppy. At higher tide the available beach changes considerably, so check the tide times and local surf conditions before planning a session.

Westward Ho! has a large tidal range, shifting sandbanks, and potential rip currents, with stronger currents and bigger breaking waves during larger swells. The pebble ridge and changing shoreline can also affect beach access. Follow RNLI lifeguard flags when in operation, check tide times and always assess the conditions before entering the water.
