Sennen Cove surf forecast
Beach break in Cornwall, UK, scored hour by hour in NORDR against the wind angle for the way it faces, the swell direction it wants, and the tide it works on.
How it breaks
Sennen Cove is a wide west-facing beach near Land's End that hoovers up Atlantic swell, with several sandbar peaks and winter walls for stronger surfers.
Getting there
Park above Sennen Cove or near the harbour, then use the slipway for Sennen or the steep path toward Gwynver.
Watch out for
- Signs warn of strong undercurrents, large breaking waves and submerged objects.
- Slipways and steep paths can be slippery when wet.
Local detail
At low tide the beach links with Gwynver, adding more peaks but also more walking.
Tide dependency: not the limiter
Tide is not what decides whether this break works, so NORDR does not score it as one. Fetch, swell period and the wind angle against the beach do the deciding here.
