Surf Break: Harlyn

Name: Harlyn
Type: beach
Reliability: inconsistent
Best Swell: WNW Offshore Wind: SW

Harlyn in North Cornwall is a sheltered beach break that only works once in a while with no particular seasonal pattern. Offshore winds blow from the southwest with some shelter here from southwest winds. Most of the surf here comes from groundswells and the ideal swell direction is from the west northwest. The beach breaks offers right-handers. Often Crowded. Submerged rocks are a hazard.
