Tolcarne in the UK offers varied surf conditions throughout the year, with the best months generally falling in the winter and early spring. The most reliable swell occurs from November to February, when ground swell dominates (61-79% of days) with mean sizes ranging from 1.8m to 2.2m, peaking in January and December. These months also see the cleanest conditions due to offshore winds, though good wind days are rare (only 11-13% of the time). March and October provide a transition period, with decent ground swell (49-69%) and slightly more manageable wind conditions (13-16% good wind days), though swell size drops to 1.6-1.7m. From April to September, conditions deteriorate significantly for surfers seeking larger, cleaner waves. Ground swell becomes scarce (11-50%), replaced by wind swell (44-79%), which is often accompanied by onshore winds (bad wind conditions 82-89% of the time). Swell size drops below 1.3m, making summer months less ideal for experienced surfers. Overall, the prime window for quality waves at Tolcarne is winter, despite challenging winds, while summer offers smaller, messier conditions suited mainly for beginners or those comfortable with wind swell.
