Caswell Bay near Swansea, or Rest Bay near Porthcawl are the best beaches to learn to surf in south Wales. Caswell is a pretty cove which is not as exposed as Llangennith - the other main beach for beginners on the Gower. Rest Bay picks up a larger swell and is usually the better-shaped wave, though it is more challenging.

Because of the high tidal range in the Bristol Channel, Wales surfing beaches only work on a rising tide, so try to get to these beaches about three to four hours before high tide.

Caswell Bay is near Swansea, Rest Bay is near Porthcawl.
