Avon Pier:
There are more than a few promising breaks in Avon, north and south of the pier. You may have heard the old guys talk about the Grommet House or the One-Way Road. No secrets here: if you know where it is, you know where it is. The sandbars shift frequently in this area — from outside sandbars near the end of the pier and the dreaded inside trench to close-to-the-beach grinders depending on the sand. After great sandbars appeared in the spring and summer of 2013 the crowds flocked to the north and south side of the pier. More recently, the sand has retreated back out towards the end of the pier so it takes a sizeable swell to really turn it on. Breaks best on S windswells or large NE windswell/swell events and handles NW winds better than points further north. Always worth a look with the right wind/swell combo.
