Surf Break: Manorbier

Name: Manorbier
Type: beach and point
Reliability: fairly consistent
Best Swell: SW Offshore Wind: NE

Manorbier in Pembrokeshire is a fairly exposed beach and point break that has quite consistent surf, although summer tends to be mostly flat. Works best in offshore winds from the northeast with some shelter here from northwest winds. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the optimum swell angle is from the southwest. The beach break offers both left and right hand waves Best around high tide. When the surf is up, crowds are likely Beware of rips,crowds / rocks.

Visitor Reviews of Manorbier


John Erikson from UNITED KINGDOM writes:

I have to question how accurate or up to date some of the ratings for Manorbier are.

Water quality: The water quality is consistently excellent, being sweet and clear in shore and off shore year round. Easily a 4 star rating

Other Options: Manorbier is South South West facing and the remaining local beaches - Freshwater East, Shrinkle, Stackpole, Newgale, Freshwater West offer everything from West, North West to North facing beaches within 7 miles drive - this has to be a 4 star rating.

Thanks

John

[Editor's comments. Thanks John, I fully agree with what you have written but these ratings were based on just 2 user votes. I have surfed Manorbier several times and the only pollution is the noise pollution when the missile range is firing. As for other options, yes, I agree that there are all kinds of aspects locally, but most, like Freshwater East and Tenby need a solid winter swell to work, and for northwest facing breaks, it is a 1hr drive to the nearest North Pembrokeshire]
