Fall Bay is a remote cove that offers a unique surf experience. It’s a bit off the beaten path, making it a quieter spot to catch some waves. This cove is somewhat protected, which can give it its own vibe compared to more crowded areas. You'll need to park in Rhossili and trek in, so be prepared for a bit of a walk to get there.
When it comes to surfing, Fall Bay has some decent options. It handles swell sizes from about 2ft (0.6m) and works well with south and west swells. The optimal swell direction is southwest, and the waves can break over sand. You can find both left and right waves here, which may be appealing if you like to switch it up. For the best results, you’ll want to surf during low to mid or high tide, and this spot is best suited for intermediate surfers looking for a bit of a challenge.
The breeze at Fall Bay is usually from the north, which tends to keep the surf conditions nicer. Keep in mind that it needs a decent swell to really get going, so check the forecasts before you head out. Just know that the trek you make to this spot can be well worth it if conditions are right.
