I think it would be around the east coast because of the north sea and the strong seas out that way, people say Newquay is but I'm not sure, I have never been surfing in the UK. Kite Surfing is popular here in the UK so is Kayaking.

Cornwall is more renowned and there is some good surf there, Fistral at low tide, Constantine Reef up the coast is good and also on the south coast Porthleven.
but the best surf in the UK and Ireland is Donegal: bundoran, tullan, 3D and Fishery cottages. Bundoran is a world class wave on its day.
oh and Newgale in pembrokeshire is terrible surf, having surfed there to learn it is terrible.
There is one place no one has mentioned yet which has one of the best surf spots in the world and no one knows about.

good surf depends on 2 things
1 the waves travelling suffiecient distance to build up to a decent size.
2 the gradient of the beach
for ireland it will be down west coast and for england the southwest area as the prevailing winds for uk are westerlies
the east coast does not get decent surf waves and becomes messy once over a few feet. east winds are more common in winter and tend to produce rough seas rather than classic surf waves.

The east coast is the worse. Newquay and fistral beach in cornwall is good and some parts of wales should be ok and some parts of south coast. Most of south and west coast of ireland should be good as the land faces the correct direction for long stretches.

There's a place called Newgale in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It's 3 miles of beach with the Atlantic crashing in. I don't know if it's the greatest but a lot of surfers use it.

apparently the north east, saltburn, hartlepool, scarbrough etc I watched a programme on it last night and they had some championships held there. Lots of hidden coves and amazin waves, the northerners are more hardened cos the the awful weather!!

Crowds spoil surf, so if anyone knows the answer they're not going to tell you. I think that some surfers have their secret spots and want to keep it that way.
