Sennen surf FAQ

Is Sennen good for beginners?+

Sennen is a beach break over sand, usually breaking in the 0.5–2.5m range, and how suitable it is for beginners really depends on the size and power on the day — not a fixed label. Set the level to Beginner above and WaveCheck flags the smaller, cleaner hours worth paddling out for.

What's the best board for Sennen?+

Different days call for different boards. Sennen can get sizeable, so a shortboard comes into its own on bigger days, while a longboard still works when it drops small. Tap through the boards above to see the live score for whatever you'll be riding.

What are the best conditions for Sennen?+

Look for 0.5–2.5m of swell from the W with light offshore winds from the E. The 5-day forecast above scores every hour, so you can spot the window at a glance.
