Surfing in North Devon
Toby Donachie at the Jesus Surf Classic
North Devon is a classic European surf spot, there truly is a wave for everyone. No matter what kind of wave you're searching for - you can keep your toes on the nose riding Saunton's perfect long board wave or have fun with Croyde's heavy, hollow, low tide barrels, which will satisfy the more advanced surfers. They're just round the corner from each other meaning North Devon can provide a variety of waves all year round! There really is an option for most wind and swell conditions. If you are a beginner, there's loads of opportunity to learn to surf and some great beaches (Saunton & Putsborough) that provide perfect beginner waves. If you are an experienced surfer you will love it! When it turns on there's plenty of quality, challenging waves.
