Fistral Surfing is not a sport, it’s a lifestyle.
Surfers Quick Guide, West-southwest swell combines with an offshore wind direction from the East.
Croyde, a surfing paradise located in the heart of Devon, stands as a formidable rival to Cornwall’s legendary Fistral Beach. Blessed with an unrelenting barrage of westerly groundswells that crash head-on into the bay, Croyde offers an unparalleled surfing experience from September to March. As these swells venture into the enigmatic Celtic Sea, they transform into menacing A-frame waves that thunder towards Croyde’s primary beach. For those seeking a more leisurely ride, a magnificent left-hand break curls off the southerly headland, providing an idyllic haven for longboarders. Autumn sessions, when the crisp air carries the scent of an offshore easterly wind and swells reach an awe-inspiring seven feet, are particularly coveted among local surfers.
Down End Car Park in Croyde Bay is a spacious and convenient parking facility that is open to the public all year round. As the largest car park in the village, it offers ample parking spaces for beach goers, surfers, and locals who wish to enjoy the breathtaking view of the bay.
