Surf Break: DuckPool

Name: DuckPool
Type: beach
Reliability: inconsistent
Best Swell: W Offshore Wind: E

DuckPool in North Cornwall is an exposed beach break that has unreliable waves with no particular seasonal pattern. Offshore winds are from the east with some shelter here from north winds. Groundswells and windswells are equally likely and the best swell direction is from the west. The beach break offers mainly right hand waves. Best around low tide. It's sometimes crowded here. Take care of rocks in the line up.
