Shorebreak Wave is inspired by the surfing waves at Watergate Bay in Cornwall. The term 'shorebreak wave' is a wave that breaks directly on a steep shore, often with great force. This happens when there is a rapid transition from deep to shallow water, causing waves to peak and crash abruptly onto the land instead of breaking gradually.
Watergate Bay is vast stretch of sand, big Atlantic swells, and high sea-beaten cliffs; a dramatic landscape, it’s one of the county’s wildest coastlines and considered by many as one of Cornwall’s best beaches.
Watergate Bay beach is around 3 miles from Newquay on the North Cornwall coast, stretching out for two miles of golden sand, imposing cliffs, and untamed sea. Spectators, surfers, and world-class kite surfers flock here for the enormous waves.Try it!
