The Gazzle — Fistral

Fistral Beach, Newquay, Cornwall, United Kingdom

About this spot

Fistral is famous for its surf, but wing and tow foilers head to the southwestern headland known as The Gazzle. From the tip, riders drop into open rolling Atlantic swells in deep water, away from the beach crowd. The distance from shore demands solid upwind skills and a session buddy. For Newquay locals and visiting foilers with the right ability, it unlocks an uncrowded gateway to quality ocean riding.

Local tips

Headland parking at TR7 1HN. Never session The Gazzle alone — the distance from shore means a swim home if things go wrong. Study the wind angle from the headland before launching as gusts can push you further offshore than expected.
