The Gwithian Sunset Surf School

Welcome to the home of the Gwithian Sunset Surf School
The Gwithian Sunset Surf School is a British Surf Association approved level 2 surf school, ideally placed just a few short minutes walk from Gwithian beach, just round the coast from St Ives in Cornwall. The school’s base at the Sunset Surf café means we are literally within touching distance of the fantastic Atlantic Ocean and the amazing waves it generates.
We offer lessons and courses suitable for all age groups and skill levels. So whether you are a complete beginner looking to get started in surfing or an improver surfer looking to refine your technique and progress to the next level, we are able to offer a package suited to your individual needs.
Why learn to surf with The Gwithian Sunset Surf School?
We are based at the perfect location at the Sunset Surf café opposite the main beach car park, within easy walking distance of the beach.
Full changing facilities and a secure area to leave your valuables means no changing in the car park!
Gwithian beach is ideal for beginners and improving surfers alike, as the surf forms and breaks very slowly, giving you plenty of time to ‘pop-up’ and get surfing!
The year-round water temperature is amongst the warmest in the UK due to the Atlantic Gulf stream and the natural heat retaining properties of St Ives Bay.
