The Wave
The north end of the bay holds the Elevator, a good low-tide right that is partly blocked by Ramsey Island.
Low tide gives the best shape there, while the wider bay still works as a beach break when the west-southwest swell is lined up.

Whitesand Bay
Whitesand Bay is the St David's peninsula surf beach that many guides still treat as Pembrokeshire's best surfing bay. It is a wide Blue Flag bay with pilgrimage history, archaeology above the beach, and a named low-tide right-hander at the north end, so it works as both a surf spot and a real place. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for Whitesand Bay in Pembrokeshire.
