Llandudno Surf Guide
A beautiful, sheltered little bay with white sand, costly real estate, freezing water, and A-frame barrels. Llandudno is generally a small-wave spot, but it gets hollow. The Gat, in the far corner, throws some vicious barrels, but it maxes out quite quickly.
Ability Level
Intermediate - Advanced
Tricky wave to surf: wedges, barrels, shallow water.

It can get pretty tense at Llandudno, with a bit of shouting.

Top-class beachbreak barrels.

Shortboard
Access
Parking is always a problem, but easy beach access.
