Newport Surf Forecast and Surf Reports

(Wales – Pembrokeshire, UK)

Newport Surf Guide

Newport in Pembrokeshire is a sheltered beach break that has inconsistent surf. Winter and spring are the best times of year to visit. Works best in offshore winds from the southeast with some shelter here from south southeast winds. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the ideal swell direction is from the west southwest. The beach breaks offer lefts and rights. Surfable at all stages of the tide. It very rarely gets crowded here. Submerged rocks are a hazard.

What's the best time of year to surf Newport (for consistent clean waves)?

januaryBest Season: winter
The best time of year for surfing Newport with consistent clean waves (rideable swell with light / offshore winds) is during Winter and most often the month of January. Clean surfable waves are typically found 7% of the time in January while 32% of the time it tends to be blown out. For the remaining 61% of the time it is considered too small by most surfers but may still be OK for beginners and groms at times.

7%
Surfable waves that hold up well for longer rides in prevailing cross-offshore, offshore or light wind conditions.
blown out
32%
Surfable sized waves that are of poorer quality due to prevailing onshore, cross-onshore or windy conditions (may be preferable for kitesurfing).
too small
61%
Waves usually considered too small for good surf. Some wave-magnet breaks may still work though if conditions are right (on occasion).

    Newport Sea Temperature

    Cold Newport water temperature (10.3 °C) today. Despite the sunshine, we suggest wearing a thick winter wetsuit, and ideally a neoprene hood, gloves and boots too because of the windchill will make air temperatures feel close to freezing.

    Today, many surfers would wear a winter wetsuit, a neoprene hood, gloves and boots.

    “I don't really think Newport should be included on this website. It has surfable waves once in a blue moon...The bar is the best place to go on the south end of the beach when there is a wave...”
