Widemouth Bay - surfing

The long exposed beach at Widemouth offers a variety of waves and various peaks throughout the tide.

The biggest hazard are the submerged rocks but these also form a reef at the southern end of the beach. This right-hander can produce good, hollow waves from mid to high tide.
