History

Someone from the Uni Surf Team we started back in 1991 posted some video of a surf spot in Wales and it bought back some strong memories of surfing the place.

The tamer edge of the wedge

If you surf round that area you'll recognise it straight away. It's a dramatic spot, held between two sets of steep cliffs that concentrate the swell inwards into a wedge that makes something out of nothing. Have a look at the vid - swell's no more than 2ft but it pushes it well beyond that on some sets.

A snipper of sessions at this spot;

• Surfing it in Summer when it'd turn long travelled but fairly small swells into a fun afternoon tucked in under the cliff.
• Creeping past the campsite at dawn to avoid unsettling the slumbering crowd so you'd get it to yourselves for at least an hour or two.
• Watching black spots dance around my head as the second wave of the set on a very solid day rolled decided to hold me as an underwater hostage for a little bit longer.
• Jonny making the mistake of bailing is board rather than duck-diving and watching the lip cut his board up into three pieces. Pete had a similar experience.

Not keen on making it more known than it already is so if you're interested in finding it have an explore around the area.
