Recent Eyeball Surf Reports for United-Kingdom - Cornwall North

  1. Shoponthebeach Shop on the Beach: ‘A sunny day at Watergate with 2ft of onshore wind swell - surfable, but not great! Wind will increase for kitesurfers thru day. LT 3.07pm.’
  2. Zumajay Zuma Jay Surf Shop: ‘Bude surf report: 0-1ft and messy. Best spot at Widemouth is picking up the NW swell a bit more. Wind North Westerly. The swell has dropped right off today’
  3. Escape-surfboards-polzeath-cornwall Escape Surf boards: ‘Polzeath Surf Report 7.45: The strong North-Northwesterly wind has complexly screwed the waves up, there’s no size or shape so frankly don’t bother at least until maybe this afternoon. The wind is going to increase in strength and thus the size of the swell will be augmented but it will still be of the onshore variety.’
  4. Constantine-bay-surf-store---constantine-bay,-padstow,-cornwall,-uk Constantine Surf: ‘Constantine Bay report: It's a new start to a new week and what a drizzly, miserable, dull but quite peaceful start it is! We had a fun few days away at Ads' Master's ceremony (shared with Nick Cave getting an honorary degree, which was entertaining) and generally had a hoot in the bright lights of Brighton.’

Information about the Holywell Bay Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Holywell Bay provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 6 days. A general guide to surfing at Holywell Bay can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Holywell Bay surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Holywell Bay) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Holywell Bay may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.

Holywell Bay is 6 km (4 miles) from Newquay. If you plan a holiday in North Cornwall, look for hotels and other accommodation in Newquay. Newquay has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
