Mewslade Bay is a surf spot located in a scenic area, often appreciated for its natural beauty. It features a beach that disappears during high tide, so timing your visit is crucial. Access involves parking in Pitton and then making the long walk down to the beach, which can be a workout in itself.
The surf here tends to be fast and dumpy, with short beach peaks that can offer a bit of excitement. It’s not always the most reliable spot since it rarely gets ridden and doesn't have the best shape most of the time. For a decent session, you’ll want a south-west swell, which works best here, but it can also handle swells coming from the south and west. You'll find waves breaking over sand, with both left and right directions available. It's best suited for intermediate surfers, especially when the swell is around 2ft (about 0.6m). Low tide is the preferred time to surf, and check for north-east winds for the best conditions.
Overall, while Mewslade Bay has potential, it does require the right conditions to be truly enjoyable. Make sure to check the swell forecasts before heading out and plan accordingly to get the most out of your visit.
