The beach

Mawgan Porth

Mawgan Porth sits on the Newquay run. Swell, wind and tide for this beach and the neighbours, so you can pick a peak before you leave the car park. Today is Clear, 12°, 3kt W, gusts 6.

North of Watergate. A proper beach break with a bit more room and a defined peak when the banks are right.

Works on more tide than people think. Walk north of the river for the cleaner peak.

Faces W. Best swell WSW-NNW. Level: all. Crowd: average.

Parking

Beach parking sits behind the strand. It is not on Cornwall Council’s Padstow-area car-park list, so check the board on arrival for the operator and tariff.

Hire & lessons

Kingsurf Surf School

Vibe

The RNLI calls it popular with families and surfers. Kingsurf runs beginner groups (max 1:8) and winter camps, a learner and family beach, not a contest claim.

Access & hazards

RNLI: long, flat, sandy, exposed to Atlantic swells, with cliffs and rocks both sides; at low tide many caves and rock outcrops. Kingsurf briefs rip currents, including how to avoid them and get out. Seasonal RNLI cover in 2026 on the same pattern as Watergate and Crantock.
