Historical data
Location guide
Situated in Pembrokeshire, United Kingdom, Whitesands is renowned for its exceptional surfing conditions, attracting surfers from across the globe. Famed for some of the best beach surf in Wales, the site offers a stunning blend of panoramic beauty and exhilarating watersports opportunities. Whitesands boasts a sheltered, sandy seabed, providing relatively safe conditions for surfers of varying experience levels. Surfing conditions at Whitesands regularly offer radiant sunshine and clean, powerful waves, given its geographical location. Known for its wave consistency regardless of the time of the year, this surf spot predominantly generates waves from the Atlantic Ocean, crashing onto the shore with a fantastic display of power and majesty. Winter is generally the best time of the year to surf here. The season experiences larger swells accompanied by off-shore winds from the east, creating perfect 'barreling' conditions for the advanced surfers. However, this does not imply the summer months are lackluster. The North Atlantic swells teamed with the frequent westerly winds create manageable waves, making the summer months the ideal time for novices or those looking to enhance their surfing skills. However, the surfing conditions change dynamically with the weather, tide, and the wind. Tides significantly alter the break at Whitesands. Low tides tend to create snappier, faster waves, demanding a bit more technical expertise to ride. Meanwhile, high tides often result in slower, more forgiving waves, making catching waves easier, especially for beginners or the more leisurely surfer. The shore can get pretty crowded due to its popularity among surfing enthusiasts, so it's beneficial to check the surf forecast, arrive early, and be prepared for a competitive jostle for waves if you're planning to surf during peak times or in excellent conditions. Overall, Whitesands offers dynamic and exciting surf conditions contained within a breathtaking landscape. It's no wonder that many surfers, both novices and experts alike, hold this destination high on their travel list.
