Sirens is our ladies-only surf club welcoming surfers of every ability. More than just surf lessons, it’s a community built on friendship, encouragement, and support. Our aim is to create an inclusive space where women can surf together, grow their skills, and build confidence in the sea.

With shorter evenings here and the kids back at school, we’ve listened to the feedback and are excited to trial something new: weekday surf sessions during school hours, as well as continuing our Saturday sessions.

We’re running three trial sessions this September:
Tuesday 8th Sept | Summerleaze | 12:00–14:00
Tuesday 22nd Sept | Widemouth | 11:30–13:30
Tuesday 29th Sept | Widemouth | 10:00–12:00

Please note: This is a trial month to gauge interest, and sessions require a minimum number of bookings to go ahead.

Nothing rounds off a solid surf session like cold drinks, good food, and great tunes. If you’re looking for the best spots to catch a vibe in and around Bude, here are our top local picks:

Crooklets Beach Cafe – Right by the sand at Crooklets. Perfect for catching chilled evening acoustic sets and sunset sessions with prime views of the surf.

Howl Brewery– Small-batch craft beers brewed on-site, a brilliant laid-back atmosphere, and regular vinyl DJ sessions or weekend music gatherings.

The Barrel at Bude – Bude’s cosy micropub. Great local ales, folk sessions, and an authentic community vibe.

The Preston Gate Inn– Just up the road from town, famous for its lively Sunday music nights, friendly crowd, and top-tier pub energy.

Tommy Jacks – Chilled surf vibes, great food, and regular weekend DJ sets or live acoustic acts just up from the beach.

Grab your crew, support local venues, and unwind after a day in the water.
