Looks like I may have to go to Torquay next weekend. Any windsurfing spots in the area that are recommended ?

There are quite a few options if theres wind... Exmouth is just up the road, Bigbury isn't too far away, and you can windsurf in Paignton, Teignmouth or Dawlish... Although Exmouth and Bigbury are the well known locations as far as windsurfers are concerned. There is also Slapton Sands in Start Bay.

Exmouth has a bit of everything, sailing in the estuary / River Mouth in flattish water, but wacth the tide, sailing off the front behind the sandbar in flat water, or sailing on the seaward side of the bar in 'waves'. Best in East Through S to Westerly winds, although NW can work oretty well too as they funnel down through the River Exe.

Take a look at the beachguides for detailed info on Bigbury... We'll have to get the other locations added soon.

Thanks Al. I was thinking of Exmouth as a possible - depends how the kids get sorted. May have to be right in Torquay.
