Festival-goers were waiting at the gates on Sunday morning before they started to find out what was going on.
"They've just said one of the tents collapsed," 16-year-old Emily Musket told Newsbeat.
"And they've taken the TV screens down and it is just closed until further notice."
She was still holding out hope the site might re-open.
"George Ezra, it is why we came, I really hope it will be open but I don't know."
"One of the big TVs fell down because of the wind and stuff," 18-year-old James Norris told us. He'd heard the news from a marshal.
"We're gutted, hoping we get our money back."
In a statement organisers said: "In light of the extreme weather conditions caused by Hurricane Bertha, Boardmasters Festival at Watergate Bay has been cancelled.
"The international surf competition will be going ahead at the Fistral Beach site, as planned.
"Our guests, staff and performers' safety is our main concern and we have decided that the magnitude of the conditions is too severe for the arena site to be opened.
"We deeply regret the disappointment caused to festival-goers on the final day of Boardmasters 2014.
