Historical data

Location guide

Surfing conditions at Pendine Sands in the United Kingdom can be quite diverse and variable, offering a unique experience for surfers of all levels. Nestled in the southwestern region of Wales, this beach is best known for its vast length and its history as a speed record breaking location, than for its surfing. Pendine Sands' predominant wind patterns are westerly, which inherently foster the formation of wind swells rather than the ground swells that seasoned surfers often seek out. This leads to a more choppy and tumultuous surf, which can be a fun challenge for intermediate and experienced surfers, but perhaps a bit too unruly for beginners. Other conditions, such as the tide, can also significantly affect the nature of the surf at Pendine Sands. At high tide, the surf can sometimes flatten out and become safer for learning and casual surfing. Low tide, however, can often result in stronger waves and rip currents, making for a thrilling endeavor for those seeking excitement. As for weather conditions, like many locations in the UK, it can be unpredictable. Spring and summer surfing can be quite pleasant, with milder waves and warmer water temperatures. However, engaging in colder months like winter might require wetsuits due to chillier waters. One unique feature of Pendine Sands is its sandbar, creating a surf break pattern that can be enjoyable for surfers. It also occasionally exhibits point break conditions, where waves hit a point of land jutting out from coast, creating a fantastic opportunity for long, exhilarating rides. In summary, despite Pendine Sands not being a renowned surfing destination, it does present unique conditions that may appeal to a certain section of the surfing community. From challenging wind swells, variable tides, to its unique sandbars and point breaks, every visit to this beach may promise a different surfing experience.
