Historical data

Location guide

Situated on the west coast of Wales in the United Kingdom, Poppit Sands is known for its extensive sandy shoreline that attracts surfers of various levels of expertise. Surfing here, however, requires a bit of planning around the local weather and tides, as these directly influence surf conditions. Being an open beach, Poppit Sands offers a variety in its surfing conditions. Primarily, you need a strong swell from the southwest to get the best conditions for surfing. The waves tend to be more powerful and consistent, offering excellent opportunities to catch some thrilling rides. However, as the strength and direction of the wind can dramatically influence the surf, it becomes crucial to monitor the flow and direction of the currents regularly. While the shore's gradient is generally mild, the waves break both left and right which is pretty encouraging for surfers who are not overly particular with their riding stance. Furthermore, even though the waves don’t get exceptionally high, the surf can still get pretty rad during high tide on a good swell. One must be mindful that the surfing quality can get affected during peak holiday season or when the beach becomes excessively crowded. The good news is, the extensive beach stretch accommodates the crowd quite comfortably, although it's always crucial to maintain safe surfing distance. Overall, Poppit Sands offers a blend of challenges and relaxation in its surfing conditions. While it may not offer the mammoth size waves that extreme surfers seek, its consistency, beautiful location, and relative tranquility make it a prime spot for surfers who love to enjoy a great day out in the water.
