Westward Ho! 2019

Westward Ho

Westward Ho is North Devon's huge two-mile surf beach beside the town and Northam Burrows. It can throw fun beach waves when the banks cooperate, but the big frontage, rip-prone sections, and rock-and-pebble ends make it more of a watch-the-lineup beach than a polished point or reef. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for Westward Ho in North Devon.

Lineup Insights

The Wave

The beach stays broad from low to high water, so the real check is bank shape, east wind, and whether the west-northwest pulse is punching through the flat beach.

Crowding and rips show when it is on, and the long frontage gives you plenty of room to spread out.
