Additional Surfing Infos |
| | The heart of Dyfed's surfing is to be found at Freash Water West.Can be a bit tricky to find, its pretty close to the texco oil plant. Parking can be tricky as the car parks are always busy. Watch out for the rips, works best on high but also works on all tides.As the name implies,the long,sandy beach is both unpolluted and westerly facing.Exposed to the depths of the Atlantic,this corner or Wales will catch any SW swell running.
A series or reefs link the two bays together,with particularly good sandbars in the summer months at the extrems of the tides.The southernmost beach is M.O.D and firing times are indicated by the red flags.
The best waves tend to break on the jagged rocks to the south end of the beach,giving good hollow rides of up to 100mtrs+ in length.
Rips can be strong here,so beware.
Parking easy along side beach.
