St Brides Bay surf guide

St Brides Bay is a popular surfing spot located on the beautiful coast of Pembrokeshire, Wales. This location offers an 8km stretch of beachbreak, making it a great spot for surfers of all levels. It's particularly friendly for beginners, thanks to the ample space available for practice. If you want to escape the busier spots, this area provides a nice alternative, especially when conditions pick up elsewhere like Newgale.

The surf here generally works best with a SouthWest swell direction, but South and West swells can also produce decent waves. You can expect the surf to handle sizes starting from around 1ft (0.3m) up to pretty big days. The waves usually break over sand, providing soft landings. You can find both left and right waves, which keeps things interesting. Ideal wind conditions come from the east, and it's a good option to hit during low, mid, or high tide, making it versatile for the day you want to surf.

Parking options are available with car parks and roadside parking near the beach, which makes it easy to access different spots along the bay. With plenty of room to spread out, it’s a relaxed place to spend a day in the water, especially for newcomers looking to get a feel for riding waves.
