Newgale Surf Guide

Newgale in Pembrokeshire is an exposed beach and point break that has quite reliable surf and can work at any time of the year. Works best in offshore winds from the east northeast. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the ideal swell angle is from the west southwest. The beach breaks offer lefts and rights. Best around mid tide. Even when there are waves, it's not likley to be crowded.

    “Inconsistent and often windy. When there is offshore and the swell is big, it can be brilliant, but watch the sand banks (a recent addition to the beach since winter storms 2013), as they can greatly affect the waves at different tides.
    In the summer it will be fairly busy, but due the size of the beach, it's easy to find a quiet spot, and of course all throughout winter it's empty.
    Odd beach - sometimes amazing, sometimes terrible. Water is clear and clean. There is plenty of parking right next to the beach, and a pub, cafe, surf shop (where you can hire boards, suits, get lessons and much more).
    All in all, a good place to come for the week if the conditions are right :)”
