About this Spot

Gwynver is a surf spot located in Cornwall, United Kingdom. This surf location features an a-frame wave direction and has a bottom composition of both sand and rocks. It is suitable for surfers with an intermediate skill level and offers a wave length ranging from 50 to 150 meters. The surf spot is known for its very consistent waves and is considered a regional classic. Surfing conditions can be experienced at all tides, but it is important to note that rips and undertows can occur, particularly at certain times. Surfers should take the rip out on the right and surf the point on the right, which is effective at low to mid tide. The peak in the middle can also provide good surfing conditions when massive rips are not running. The area is less crowded, with only a few surfers typically present, making it a more relaxed environment for those looking to surf. Gwynver is located near other surf spots such as Sennen, Cot Valley, Mill Bay, Porthcurno, and Newlyn Harbour wall. To reach Gwynver, park at the Sennen Cove car park and take a 5-10 minute walk around the headland until you arrive at the next bay with peeling rights. As with any surf spot, it is crucial to check the surf etiquette when surfing in crowded areas and to assess your skill level against the difficulty of the waves before entering the water. Respect the locals.
