Trevaunance Cove Surf Guide

Punchy, busy beachbreak nestled in the heart of the 'Badlands,' one of Cornwall's most core surf communities. In medium to large swells, this small sheltered bay delivers quality, hollow rights and shorter lefts and is one of the few spots on the coast that can handle southwesterly winds. As a result, the small line-up has become increasingly busy to the point of chaos. Don't drop in. Heavy rains bring pollution down the outdated drains from the overwhelmed village sewage infrastructure.
