Teignmouth Surf Guide
It might be in Devon but it ticks very few of the surfing boxes, facing east in the Channel. That's not to say there are no waves here. This fickle spot is an increasingly popular stretch of beach, with the best banks showing up close to the pier at low tide when a rare swell arrives. Can be fun, will be busy. Closes out at high.
