Paignton Beach Kayak Forecast
Paignton · United Kingdom
Paignton Beach scores 79/100 for kayak today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces SE. A wide, shelving sandy beach on the sheltered, SE-facing shore of Tor Bay, backed by a promenade and pier. Surf is inconsistent, needing SSW swell with offshore westerly wind, producing small, rolling waves suited to beginners; a designated windsurfing area is present. A 5-knot speed limit (1 May-30 September) covers motorised craft and jet skis, which must pre-register. Dogs are banned the same dates. RNLI lifeboat cover comes from nearby Torbay station.
