Historical data

Location guide

Mounts Bay, located in the United Kingdom, is best known for its scenic beauty rather than its surfing conditions. While it's true that this location may not be the first that comes to mind when picturing prime surfing destinations, it does indeed offer surfing opportunities for those willing to give it a try. At Mounts Bay, the surf is, in a word, unpredictable. Due to the bay's expansive size and oceanic factors, the swell can vary greatly from day to day. Some days might offer some medium-sized waves, just perfect for beginners or those looking to have a relaxed day out on the water. However, on other occasions, the conditions might pick up a notch, offering more challenging waves for the more advanced surfers. Challenging, but not unmanageable, the conditions can offer an exciting day for the suitably skilled. The water temperature is another crucial aspect to consider. The UK isn't exactly known for warm waters, and Mounts Bay is no exception. Depending on the season, the sea temperature can range from a chilly 8 degrees Celsius in winter to about 15 degrees Celsius in the summer. Investing in a good quality wetsuit is a must if you're planning to catch some waves at this spot. The wind direction can also play a major role in shaping your surfing experience. Predominantly, the wind tends to come from the southwest, which aligns well with the shape of the bay, creating an offshore effect on the waves. This offshore wind can create clean, groomable surfaces, helping build the waves' shape and form - ideal conditions for surfers. In conclusion, if you're a fan of less crowded spots with unpredictable yet captivating surf, you might just find Mounts Bay to be a hidden gem. Don’t forget your wetsuit, and always remember to approach the water with the respect and caution it demands and deserves.
