Traeth Llydan Surf Guide
Not exactly renowned for the quality of its surf, this long stretch of sandy beach is more popular with kitesurfers and windsurfers, but on those super rare days when a SW swell threads the needle between Ireland and the Llyn Peninsula there can be fun waves here. It mostly gets onshore windswell through. Better banks form by the stream.
Local Vibe
Chilled.
Crowd Factor
Quiet.
Spot Rating
Not a classic worth travelling for, really a once in a blue moon kind of spot. Super fickle beachbreak, usually onshore windswell.
Shoulder Burn
OK when small, heavy paddle when big.
Water Quality
OK.
Hazards
Rips and currents when big.
Access
Tricky parking, a couple of small car parks set back from the beach.
Bottom
Sand.
Best Season
December - February.
