About this Spot

Sennen is a surf spot located in Cornwall, United Kingdom. This location is known for its consistent waves and is particularly favorable during the summer months when it picks up even the slightest ripple from the Atlantic. The beach features a sandy bottom and offers an a-frame wave direction, making it suitable for intermediate surfers. The wave length ranges from 50 to 150 meters, providing ample opportunity for rides. Sennen is known for its heavy beach break, especially when the swell is significant, so surfers should be cautious with their boards while coming in. It is important to note that both Sennen and the nearby Gwynver beach are lifeguard patrolled during the summer, enhancing safety for surfers. The spot can experience strong rips, particularly on larger swells, so surfers should assess their skill level against the difficulty of the waves before entering the water. The area is known for being very crowded during peak season, so it is advisable to check surf etiquette to ensure a respectful surfing experience. Parking is available on the beach, making access convenient for visitors. Sennen is located near several other surf spots, including Gwynver, Mill Bay, Cot Valley, Porthcurno, and Newlyn Harbour wall, which can offer alternative surfing experiences. Respect the locals.
