Porlock Weir Somerset
Edit SpotAbout
Can be crowded when its working because there are very few other spots that work when this wave starts to wind off. Nice little wave though in the depths of Winter when you don't want too many duck dives.
Additional Info:
When the wind is from the S/SW blowing sheep off Exmoor and the swell is 8'+ you might just get a wave. Don't bank on it though!
