Cribbar is right in town. The little Magic Seaweed video has about 40,000 views already. Edited: 02/06/2021 at 05:17 AM by ww

It's perhaps partly of interest for learning the local variety of the language, also for comparisons to other large wave situations. This one, Cribbar, has an irregular rock bottom such that the waves don't break very regularly so surfers have to position themselves cautiously and paddle a lot. The town is beautifully set up for surf with Fistral (the Cribbar beach) facing due east and the other beaches beyond Towan Headland facing more north and usually gentler. It look like there's been a sponge revival during the Pandemic. In Newport Beach, it seemed everyone was coming to the beach for lack of anything better to do, and if you're bringing surfboards, why not bodyboards, too? Spectacular footage from the July 4 swell at The Wedge may have helped. BTW, water temp at Newquay is said to be 48-50, just like Oregon.
