Watersports At Perranporth On A High Tide

On Friday the 16th of April 2021 I headed to Flat Rocks Perranporth to take some photos of the high tide.

The sea was calm, with a clean little wave. People had obviously spotted that the conditions were going to be ideal for watersports as there were lots in the sea. I managed to get some photographs and footage of people enjoying a beautiful morning on the water.

I guess this is what you might see on a typical calm high tide on a sunny morning at Perranporth Beach...

As those I spoke to whilst walking back across the beach agreed, it really was a handsome morning for it.
