Thurlsestone
Edit SpotAbout
be persistent and check it often... well worth it when its on!
Atmosphere:
Lived in totnes near-by for about 2 and half years and scored this waves on every decent south swell times (south coast is limited by swell). little bit of localism but this is understandable considering the detritus you have to work through around at bantham.
Additional Info:
This place is a gem when you are sic of the incesent crouds of bantham... the poms wont search for waves!
