Longrock

Longrock is a beach break located on the north coast of Cornwall, United Kingdom, facing south into the Celtic Sea. The spot features a sandy beach with visible rocky outcrops and reef structures in the nearshore water. Adjacent industrial and port facilities indicate moderate to high boat traffic in the area. The coastline orientation facing south makes easterly and westerly winds the ideal side-shore conditions for kitesurfing. With average wind speeds of 11.6 knots and 40% reliability, sessions are somewhat inconsistent. Average wave heights of 1.45m and rough water conditions suggest intermediate skill required. The spot suits kiters comfortable navigating rocky hazards and tidal dynamics. Key considerations include timing sessions around tidal cycles to avoid shallow exposed rocks, awareness of vessel traffic from nearby port operations, and understanding local current patterns. Best wind direction is approximately east (90°), providing clean side-shore conditions. This is not a beginner-friendly spot due to hazard density and exposure.
