In Western Europe and northwest of France, some of the best surfing in the world is found in Wales. The temperature in Wales is mild to temperate and is primarily influenced by the drift from the North Atlantic. Though the United Kingdom is known for having rainfall, the majority of the year surfers looking to travel to Wales will find the rainy season is September to January, and the driest season is between March and June, which allows surfers to take advantage of some of the best surfing in the world.
There are quite a few surf spots offering ideal surfing for beginners, intermediate and advanced surfers. Surfers flocking to Wales have access to a variety of breaks such as; Point Breaks, Beach Breaks, Rivermouth and Reef Breaks, all of which offer an awesome surfing experience.
Beginning surfers will find the best surfing spots for the beginning level including: Porthoer, Harbour Break, Caswell Bay, Manobier, Rest Bay Porthcawl, White Sands, Barry Island, Dalmore, Newgale and others. Dalmore and Newgale are particularly popular.
Tenby South and Black Rock Reef are two of the most popular surf spots for intermediate surfers. Other great choices include Langland, Aberavon, Marloes Sands and definitely Ogmore by the Sea. For experienced and kamikaze surfers there are more challenging waves such as Y Bocs, which is one of the most awesome reef breaks.
Surfers to Wales will fare well to come fully equipped with surfing gear and be prepared for the weather in the United Kingdom. This should not be a problem for water loving surfers, but, depending on the time of year, the areas around the Atlantic are cooler than usual.
For those surfers planning to enjoy some of the best surfing in the world who may also choose to up their game, there is the Gower and Swansea Surf School located in South Wales. The surf school offers a personal level of teaching to all surf students and provides coaching to all levels and ages of surfers.
