Surf is the face height at the beach after the swell is filtered for the way Tenby faces. Arrows point to where the swell and wind come from: an arrow pointing up means from the north. Tide is the height at Tenby above chart datum, rising ↑ or falling ↓; the rating drops when the tide is outside the window this break works on. Amber marks the sessions worth setting an alarm for. From Friday the swell comes from Météo-France's 10-day model, which is coarser than the 5 km German model used close in. Hours no model reaches are left blank, not shown as flat.

Exposure

Tenby faces east. Measured from the seabed, it is open to swell from NE round to S; the brighter a wedge, the deeper the water in that direction and the more of the swell gets in. Anything from behind the headlands scores nothing, however big the buoy says it is.

How Tenby works

Swell
Best from the east.
Wind
Offshore is from the north west; anything with east in it is onshore and messes it up.
Tide
mid to high tide.
Getting there
Drive to South Wales... look at a map, follow the road to tenby...

Needs a big swell to work but works in the prevailing Westerly winds.. worth a visit i guess..
