St. Ives

St. Ives is an NNW-facing beach break in Porthmeor Beach, England, United Kingdom. It picks up swell from WSW to WNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 78% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the SSE: light winds or SSE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while NNW onshores chop it up.
