Conditions improving this afternoon - sheltered breaks offer more manageable surf

Afternoon Outlook: conditions smoothing out this afternoon as the tide drops backs, especially at spots that handle increasing S/SSW wind. Sheltered breaks are looking fun and super-clean, overhead sets at the more exposed beaches if that's your thing.

Conditions continue to improve through the remainder of the day although you will need to tuck in from a gusty SSE wind if you're surfing after work. Low pressure on it's way in from the south-west.

South Fistral Beach Surf Guide

Just a short walk down the beach from ‘North’ lies another iconic break with long, walling peaks and a long left breaking off the rocks. South pics up less swell due to Pentire Headland but has the advantage of offering some shelter in a southwesterly wind. Always busy with advanced surfers out back and beginners on foamies on the inside. Watch out for rips here. Read more
