L'Ancresse Bay is a surf spot located in Guernsey, known for its fun and versatile beachbreaks. This place is quite popular among surfers, especially during the winter months when conditions are solid. The bay provides a scenic view with car parks overlooking the beach, making it an accessible option for surfers looking to hit the waves.

The surf here works best with a swell coming from the west, but it can also handle swells from the southwest and northeast. L'Ancresse Bay is capable of dealing with swell sizes starting from 2ft (about 0.6 meters) and offers waves that break over sand. You'll find both left and right waves here, which can be favorable depending on your preference. The spot tends to perform well on low, mid, and high tides, although it's especially good right after high tide. With a south wind, the conditions can be more pleasant, making your surf session more enjoyable.

If you’re planning to surf here, make sure to check the conditions beforehand, as it relies on solid swells for the best experience. The spot can still offer decent waves even when the wind is onshore, so it's worth a visit even if the conditions aren’t perfect.
