This is not a secret spot. You will probably fuck your car up taking the track here from milford. The bottom is banded sandstone with the strata side on, It will hurt if you hit it hard. The wave throws the odd barrel and is a left at low water but peaks both ways at high tide. This will not live up to the hype, The scenery is spectacular but the crowds are not, Since stormrider published the info it has become crowded and the locals angry.

comment - Funny comments..all wannasurf pages are the same..seems a societal problem as most surfers in this country suck compared to 10 year old brazilians...so i wouldn't really call em real surfers..anyhows Spekes rocks and as said before the gnarly locals don't live anywhere nearby..I've met the real locals and they're dudes..I'm sure they'd get pissed though afterall it's a rare day we ever get 'good' surf!!

- when i see all the comments, it seems that many things have changed. i learned to surf in spekes mill almost ten years ago when I was in a linguistic exchange(i'm french)in a farm close from the spot and the real locals(from Hartland and the farms around)were not more than four or five people and few other people from devon who were knowing the spot.
it seems different now!! what a shame that a so beautiful and friendly place became what it seems to be now!!
anyway, I hope to go back there one day just to see again the devon coast.
