As I have not surfed in South Wales for a number of years and never surfed in North Wales I have decided to link this part of my guide to guides written by surfers more acquainted with the spots in these areas.
I have added some personal comments on these guides. If you have a guide you want me to link to then please email me (markrsmith@btinternet.com) with the details.
Although it is some years since I surfed in South Wales I would recommend Llangennith on the Gower for an easy wave with out too much aggro from the locals. In general I would keep clear of Langland Bay as it gets too crowded and intense (like Fistral in Newquay).
A much more mellow scene exists in Pembrokeshire with Freshwater West being the best of the most accessible breaks.
If you are interested in surfing in the Aberystwyth area, there is a useful guide on Alan Cole's Forces of Nature web site.
As an added bonus there are also photos but no guides to a number of secret spots in the area.
