Mid Wales Surf Breaks
West Wales picks up on good SW swells that charge up Cardigan Bay. Aberaeron works on local swells from the north although the best places to hit are further south or Aberystwyth on a good Atlantic ground swell. Friendly part of coast with plenty of facilities, easy driving and good access to most beaches.
