Clean water, high tidal range (6m), all condition from perfectly flat to clean 6ft waves. Very mixed conditions. Good for wave beginners since the waves become smooth after breaking with no hard shore break. The spot is located on a estuary outlet. Sandbar at mouth with waves.
A typical windy spell starts with Southerly winds, swings West and goes finally North. North has the cleanest wind, SW can be very gusty. Wind speeds are very variable. Take care in a westerly wind as this is straight onshore and this beach can get very busy. A hill to East can disturb the wind.
From Wadebridge drive to Rock/Polzeath. Pass Rock and before Polzeath you will find signs to Daymer Bay, which is very popular. Parking fees during summer (Easter to September).
Kitesurfing is banned between 10am and 6pm during July and August. Be careful what you do! The beach is very popular with holiday makers and windsurfers during the summer. Take your space, do not rig up at full high tide when the beach is crowded.
