Praa Sands in South Cornwall is an exposed beach break that has fairly consistent surf, although summer tends to be mostly flat. Works best in offshore winds from the northeast with some shelter here from west winds. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the ideal swell direction is from the south southwest. The beach breaks offer lefts and rights. Often Crowded. Dangerous rips are a hazard of surfing here.
