Spot of the Week – Newgale
August 26th, 2010
Surfer's Eye map for Newgale Sands
Just over 60 miles from Swansea and about 15 minutes along the A487 from Haverfordwest and you’ll find Newgale.
There are many peaks up and down Newgale Sands with several car parks and good facilities. A bit of a swell magnet, therefore very consistent. Best on the dropping tide. Mild currents. On the pebbles at high tide, but can be surfable at the south end. Copes well with its fairly relaxed crowd. Something for al standards here.
Penycwm has a sucky, hollow right that works for a few hours on the climbing tide at the north end of Newgale Sands, below the cliffs. Beware of the fast climbing tide on the rocks. Mainly locals, only holds a small crowd. Intermediate / Advanced.
There are plenty of other options in this area for the intrepid, so get out there and explore!
Here’s info on more surf spots in Wales and throughout the UK & Ireland.
