Three Cliffs Bay surf guide

Three Cliffs Bay is a picturesque surf spot located in Wales. It's known for its beautiful sandy bay and stunning cliffs. The surf can be decent, but you’ll need a solid swell to get things going. Be prepared for a bit of a trek to reach the water, as the walk-in can be quite long and is not for the faint of heart.

The surf here works best with a south-west swell, but it can handle swells from the west and south-west as well. The waves can start to form at around 2 feet (0.6 meters), breaking over sand. You can catch lefts and rights, which adds some variety to your session. For the best conditions, aim for mid to high tide with a north wind. It’s a spot suited for intermediate surfers, so be ready to put your skills to the test while navigating the sometimes tricky rips.

If you're planning to surf at Three Cliffs Bay, make sure to park by Penmaen and prepare for that long walk. Just a heads up, the rips can be pretty nasty, so keep your wits about you. The area is also popular with climbers, so you might see some folks scaling the cliffs while you’re out on the water.
