🏄 Poldhu Cove Surf Guide
Poldhu Cove is a west-facing sandy beach on the Lizard Peninsula, near Mullion. Also known as Black Pool Cove, it can offer beach-break surf when Atlantic swell reaches the bay. Surf size and shape change with the tide, swell direction and local winds.
Westerly to south-westerly swell and lighter easterly or north-easterly winds can provide cleaner conditions. Smaller days may suit learners with appropriate supervision, while larger swells can bring strong rip currents and challenging shorebreak. Poldhu is also known for its links to Marconi and early transatlantic radio communications.
