Caerhays is a South Cornwall beachbreak in the Caerhays Castle / Hemmick Beach area, so the surf identity is as much about the scenic coast as the wave itself. It is exposed and inconsistent rather than dependable, but the west-facing pocket of coast gives it a clear place on the south-coast surf map when winter swell lines up. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for Caerhays in South Cornwall.
Live updates
North wind is the offshore side and south-southwest swell is the cleanest angle.
Winter is the best season, the line is broad enough that you should inspect exposure and bank shape rather than the tide, and the wider Veryan Bay / Hemmick coastline means the forecast does not always translate directly to the beach.
