St Agnes
Edit SpotAbout
Its not worth the hassle
Atmosphere:
I've surfed Aggie in all conditions and have to say that when it works it's a good wave, for Britain.
The locals fancy themselves as tough guys. Lot's of stink eye though.
Have a beer in the Droftwood Spars by the beach. Aggie girls are VERY welcoming.
Additional Info:
With SW wind and a 2m + swell Aggie can get really good. Dry hair paddle out in rip on left hand side of beach, even when bigger. Slightly longer boards work well when there's some grunt.
