Description

The Cribbar, also known as the "Widow Maker," is a legendary surf spot located off the coast of Newquay in Cornwall, England. Known for its massive waves The Cribbar wave is a rare phenomenon that occurs only a few times a year, usually between October and March. The combination of an Atlantic swell, low tide, and specific wind conditions create the perfect conditions for these massive waves to form. The name "Cribbar" comes from the Cornish word "kribow," which means "reef" or "breakwater." The reef at The Cribbar lies just beneath the water's surface, helping to create the large waves that break in the area. A local myth surrounding The Cribbar involves the legendary "Mermaid of Zennor." The story goes that a beautiful mermaid named Morveren would sit on the rocks at The Cribbar, singing to the sailors and fishermen in the area. Those who heard her song were said to be so entranced that they would lose their sense of direction and crash their boats on the rocks. Some believe that the power of the waves at The Cribbar is connected to ancient ley lines – alignments of sacred sites and landmarks thought to have spiritual significance. The Cribbar is said to be situated on the intersection of two ley lines, which may explain the strength and rarity of the waves. 4000 x 4000 px Samanta, 2023
