Castletown Surf Guide

Castletown in Isle of Man is a quite exposed beach break that only works when conditions are just right. Winter and spring are the best times of year to visit. Works best in offshore winds from the north. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the best swell direction is from the south southwest. Waves at the beach tend to peel to the right. The quality of the surf isn't affected by the tide. Even when there are waves, it's not likley to be crowded.
