Aberystwyth - Harbour Trap is situated in Mid Wales and is known for its unique surf conditions. It's a spot that's often crowded, attracting surfers looking for a decent wave. The surf comes from a boulder reef, which gives it a triangular shape, making the waves quite distinct. Access is pretty straightforward as you can park on the promenade and get to the water either from the beach or by jumping off the pier.

This spot works best with south-west swells, but it can also handle waves coming from the west. It's capable of producing waves around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters) high, perfect for intermediate surfers who are looking to improve their skills. The waves break left and right, with the lefts being a longer ride. The best wind direction is from the east, and the mid tide is generally the most favorable for catching waves.

When you’re out there, be ready for some strong currents due to the river nearby, so it’s important to be mindful of your surroundings. It's also known for having a good crowd, so expect some company in the water. It's definitely not a beginner spot, so make sure you're comfortable on your board before heading out.
