Historical data

Location guide

Portstewart Strand in the United Kingdom is an inviting spot for surfers, marked by its pristine wide beaches and unspoiled landscapes. The surf conditions here are often influenced by the North Atlantic's prevailing wind patterns and swell directions. Recognizing these will aid in decoding the best occasions to ride the waves. Typically, it's advisable to seek out Portstewart Strand's surf spots during mid to high tide. This is primarily due to the more favourable surf conditions that occur as the rising tide interacts with the shoreline, consequently generating more consistent waves with sufficient energy for an exhilarating surfing experience. Winter months tend to offer the best surfing conditions at Portstewart Strand with larger swell sizes and powerful waves. During this timeframe, the winds from the west and southwest can produce superb waves that are both captivating and challenging. However, it's worth noting that water temperatures drop significantly during these months and suitable surf attire, like good winter wetsuits, gloves, and booties, is a must to endure the chill. Meanwhile, the summer months can feel a lot gentler, characterized by smaller waves and warmer waters, making it an excellent period for beginners to get to grips with the basics of surfing. Remember, while the water's temperature is more agreeable, it's still advisable to wear a summer wetsuit for both protection and comfort. In summary, Portstewart Strand, with its surf shaped by the changing seasons and tidal stages, offers a diverse range of surfing conditions. Whether you are a seasoned surf enthusiast or a novice, the Strand has something to cater to your needs. Remember to exercise your abilities responsibly and always respect the ocean.
