Fistral, a NW facing break does have its moments. Offshore on S-E, OK on a SW. Lefthander at South Fistral cranks on a low tide, while North Fistral picks up more swell and can give perfect peaks, especially at low tide, although crowded. At low tide Little Fistral, at the very north corner of the beach, is excellent. It's sheltered from NE winds, and picks up most swell. There's a handy rip by the rocks on the right. Beware of the Cribbar, Newquay's big wave that breaks off the headland.
