Mawgan Porth has long been something of a surfer’s secret. It’s a quiet spot for riding Cornwall's world-famous waves, ideal for both beginners and more experienced curl-catchers.
Many have spent their lives out on the water, long knowing there’s a wisdom to be found on the calm blue. After all, surfing’s a lesson in practicing patience: once you’ve paddled out to sea, it’s a case of waiting for the right wave. It’s a reminder that some things in life can’t be forced: occasionally, you just need to wait for the right conditions.
Booking a lesson
Lessons for all levels can be organised with experienced professionals. Based on Mawgan Porth’s sands, both Kingsurf Surf School and The Surf Club Cornwall can take you out on the water. They’ll bring the boards and wetsuits – just remember to pack your swimming gear.
