waste of time - this wave is pretty much a straight-hander! as ive found out its often a waste of time and effort, but thats probably cause i cut my foot on a rock and it got infected. good sign of the top notch water quality!

Newlyn Harbour Wall - I saw this going off in Oct 1987 early in the morning after that massive "Hurricane" we had and walked right past it heading to Marazion bay to surf. I didn't realise the harbour wall was massive and therefore the waves that looked as though they were 3' were in fact 9-10'. It wasn't till dusk when I came back past it and saw people in the water that I got a sense of the size of the wave. I was gutted by the time I got suited up again it was too dark to go in. It's a good wave but ultra rare.
