Porth Ceiriad surf guide

Porth Ceiriad is a surf spot located along the stunning coastline, known for its unique setting and diverse wave options. The beach has a nice vibe and offers both left and right-hand waves, providing a bit of variety for surfers of different skill levels. Parking is available on the cliffs overlooking the beach, and camping is possible too. Just a heads up, there’s a small fee for beach access during the summer, which used to be around £2.

The surf here typically works best with a south or southwest swell direction. You can expect good waves when the swell hits around 2 ft (0.6 meters), and things get really fun during high tide. The beach break offers powerful left peaks and can handle some solid surf. Just be mindful of the shallow areas, as they can produce hollow waves at times, so keep an eye on the conditions.

When you’re planning your surf session, it’s good to know that the preferred wind direction is from the north. This will help to clean up the waves and make your experience even better. Overall, Porth Ceiriad offers a solid spot for surfers looking to catch some decent waves, but be ready for varying conditions depending on the day. Happy surfing!
