Surf
The surf is pumping every day and The Camp at The Wave is just metres from the shoreline. You can wake to the sound of the waves and be catching them within minutes. Whether you’ve never surfed before and want to start your surfing journey, or you’re looking to bag some barrels on our expert waves, we have a session for you – whatever your age, background or ability. Find detailed info on all our surf experiences, including videos, here.
Surf times vary depending on the time of year and you’ll need to book your surfs separately here. Surf sessions do get snapped up pretty quickly, so make sure you book your preferred sessions as soon as you know when you’re coming to stay with us.

Eat and Drink at The Clubhouse
What we really love after a surf session is getting together to refuel and relive the experience. We love sharing these moments over great food, with family and friends. Our café is open from post ‘dawn patrol’ breakfasts, right the way through the day, until the last bite of pizza after a ‘sunset session’ in the evening. We use the best ingredients and pride ourselves on the great relationships we have with our local suppliers, from Buxton Butchers, or our local cheese supplier, to Clifton Coffee who provide the perfectly roasted coffee beans for our baristas.
In addition to our Clubhouse café, we also have some brilliant pop-up food outlets in the grounds around the lake.
