Porthleven Pier « South Cornwall

photo: Chris Symonds

Short, powerful, hollow left and a longer , sometimes walling right. Mostly surfed by bodyboarders

At higher tides the wave is more of a harbour wall wave peeling into the beach.

It’s about a 5 minute paddle across the harbour mouth from the main Porthleven reef
