Perranporth always used to be the big, cool, surfing beach when I visited as a youngster (about 15 years ago). It's a really big sandy beach and usually has great surf. The only problem back then was that it was really popular and so probably not quite so fun for a beginner.
I have been to Watergate Bay a few times to surf and that was great (we rented an appartment rather than camping, I must be getting fussy in my old age
). The surf school was really, really good and the waves were fantastic. It was also very quiet but that very early season.
