Beach and Tide Conditions
Recommended tide for kitesurfing is Low Tide,Coming Tide,Falling Tide .
Rest Bay, Wales (UK) is a Small waves and Medium waves spot.
The launching/landing area is reported to be of Medium size.
Big open sandy beach approx 2 miles long facing Southwest.
Clean water but discolored by the silt in the estuary. The most well-known surf spot in the Porthcawl area because of its consistency and surprising quality on decent swells. It works pretty much up to high tide. There is a rip here which pulls you towards the cliffs on the left-hand side, but the beach is fairly safe. It's a beach break and pulls up onto the rocks near the shore as the tide moves in - so you need to be aware of these when paddling in. Holds waves up to six to eight feet on good days, and, more often than not, has barreling sections at low tide.
