The Cribbar, sometimes called Cornwall’s big-wave reef, sits off Newquay and only really comes alive when large Atlantic swell, long wave periods and the right wind conditions line up.
This is not a normal surf beach. It is a powerful reef wave with heavy water, strong currents, rocks, long hold-down potential and serious consequences if things go wrong.
For most people, the best place to enjoy The Cribbar is from a safe viewing spot on land. Big-wave days can be spectacular, but the sea here deserves huge respect.
