Frequently Asked Questions

What tide is best at St Agnes?

The St Agnes profile favors mid tide. Compare this preference with the forecast tide and local conditions before choosing a session.

What wind direction is offshore at St Agnes?

The St Agnes profile uses wind from SSE (150°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 100° to 200°. Wind speed matters too: light winds outside that range can still produce surfable conditions, while strong offshore winds can make takeoffs difficult.

What swell size and direction work best at St Agnes?

The St Agnes scoring profile favors swell from WNW (240° to 330°), a swell-height range of 0.9m to 2.5m, and a reference period of 12s. These are model inputs, not guaranteed breaking-wave heights or a promise that the surf will suit every ability.
