My favourite spot to surf. A long beach with around four breaks, so you never have to worry about crowds. If Whitesand is a bit messy then Newgale is usually cleaner. Works best at low tide.
This works on most tides, a pushing tide is best with a northerly wind and can hold huge swells. It has some great surf with various points along its length. Ideal for all and great fun.
Just got back from a New Year surf at Newgale which nearly froze my balls off, but was good fun. Seems to pick up a reasonable swell and very exposed to easterly off-shores which cleans the whole act up very nicely when god farts that way.
Good consistant surf, solid beach break with loads of variations lefts and rights all along beach, best break on the points, not too busy, watch out for backwash at high tide.
Newgale last winter was amazing, good surf at the point and middle of the beach. The lads at Haverfordwest college hope it's going to be as good this winter, had some fun in 3-4 foot waves there. You really need to go there.
I went to Newgale for 4 days and ended up getting bad sunburn. I stayed at the camp site just across the road from the beach. The surf was aways clean you just had to get to know the tides. I found that it was at its best about 1 hour after high tide. The wave height ranged at 3-4 ft On the last day it got pretty big 5-6 ft but a bit mushy. There is a good shop across the road which hires all surf equipment and sells cheap wax (£1).
