About This Spot
Hawkers, England (UK) is one of the world's premier wind-sports destinations, located in England (UK).
Situated in Europe, the spot offers Shallow and Flat and Chop water conditions, making it ideal for experienced riders pushing their limits.
With N–NNE–NE winds throughout the season, Hawkers, England (UK) delivers the kind of sessions that keep riders coming back year after year.
Why Riders Love It
Works on a Northerly wind, or a Northeast which seem to be a bit more prevalent in the colder months when the UK recieves wind systems from Siberia. Can be gusty since the wind has to access through a narrow rock eastuary mouth. North winds are not the prevailing wind direction for the UK, so you won't be riding at this spot too often.
When to Go
Colder months when the UK receives wind systems from Siberia. Because of this, if you are surfing here in winter the water and air will be about as cold as the Southwest gets - full suit and hat with boots and gloves needed for the coldest days. In summer, expect balmy air temps and a shorty wetsuit to keep the chill off.
What to Expect
Works well at low tide, when lagoons and flat still water appear. As the tide fills in the water gets deeper, but apart from a bit of chop this is really a wave sheltered spot. Typical Cornish blue clear water. Situated in a large estuary, if you loose your board out in the water here you may not get it back if the tide is ebbing. Be carefull of ditching your kite on an ebbing tide, failure to relaunch will mean you get sucked out to sea, past a lot of steep cliffs and unnavigable rocks - you'd be screwed.
