We always recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment on the day. We operate on an instructor to student ratio for each session so spaces are limited and we do fill up at busy times.
All of our sessions are two hours long (including the beach theory), but we recommend you allow approximately 3 hours for a surf session.
All beginner lessons take place in shallow water, where you will always be able to touch the bottom. Our experienced instructors are all qualified beach lifeguards, and will always be on hand.
We do ask that participants are able to swim 50 meters unaided.
The sea temperature changes depending on the season. We have a great fleet of new and modern wetsuits that will keep you warm no matter what.
In peak season, the sea is surprisingly warm (you'll just have to trust us on that one!).
Surfing is an ideal all-weather activity. Let's face it, you're going to get wet anyway, so we surf!
We can cater for private groups including stag and hen parties, just let us know when you book so we can accommodate accordingly.
Yes we have changing rooms and storage for your belongings.
For group sessions the age requirement is 8 years and over. However, we can take younger surfers on our private sessions.
WSC does not have parking, but we are situated very near several beach front car parks, like the Esplanade car park, Sandy Burrows car park, and Marine Drive- free for National Trust members.
