Slade Bay is located on the coast, accessible by walking from Horton or from Oxwich/Slade village. The spot features a small beach, which has seen some sand depletion over time, making it less appealing than it once was. It’s important to be aware that the waves here can be inconsistent, but it can still be a decent spot when conditions are right.

The surf at Slade Bay works best with a southwest swell direction, but it can also handle swells coming from the south and west. The waves usually break over uneven reefs and sand, giving you both left and right options. It’s a place where you can catch waves around 2 feet (0.6 meters), making it suitable for intermediate surfers. Low to mid tide is generally preferred, and on the right days, the conditions can be quite fun with the right wind coming from the north.

While the surf can be a bit hit or miss, it’s worth checking out when the swell is up. Just keep in mind that it's not the most reliable spot, so be prepared to hunt for decent waves. Make sure to scope it out and see if Slade Bay is working before you head out.
