Broadhaven

Broadhaven is a shallow bay located on the Pembrokeshire coast in southwest Wales, characterized by extensive sandy beaches and tidal flats. The bay opens to the southwest, providing exposure to Atlantic swells while being partially sheltered by surrounding headlands. The spot experiences moderate wave conditions averaging 1.11m with rough-chop water texture typical of coastal Welsh waters. Wind reliability at 28.3% indicates this is a seasonal spot with variable conditions. The bay's configuration creates a protected side-shore window for northeast winds. Water depth varies significantly with tidal range, creating both opportunities and hazards. The spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with tidal considerations and rocky hazards. Access is available through the main beach area, though coastal rocks require careful navigation. Best conditions occur during neap tides with northeast winds. Water temperature averages 11.4°C requiring appropriate thermal protection year-round. The rough-chop conditions suggest fetch limitations and irregular wave patterns.
