What are the best surf conditions for Saunton Sands?
Gets good between waist high to overhead. We recommend riding a longboard here when smaller and a shortboard if it really picks up. This break is suitable for all levels of surfers. The surf here usually has something to ride (5/10) and will always have a bunch of beginners and longboarders out (7/10). The best winds are from the East. The best swells are from the Northwest, Southwest, and West. Works on a low tide best.
We recommend wearing a 3/2 in the summer when water temperatures rise to 17 degrees. In the winter a 5/4 is best when water temperatures drop to 8 degrees. See the temperature chart below for more data on this.
