Hells Mouth

Hellmouth is a west-facing beach break located on the Pembrokeshire coast in Wales, directly exposed to Atlantic swell and prevailing westerly winds. The spot is characterized by a sandy beach backed by low dunes and grassland, with rocky outcrops visible in the nearshore zone. This is a genuine open-ocean exposure point with significant fetch and consistent swell generation. The beach setting provides straightforward access but requires careful navigation of shallow rocky areas near the shore. Wind reliability is modest at 32.5%, typical for exposed Welsh coastal locations. Best conditions occur with northerly or southerly winds (side-shore), allowing riders to work parallel to the beach while maintaining safety distance from rocks. Water temperature averages 11.2°C, necessitating adequate thermal protection. Wave heights around 1m average suggest variable conditions; larger Atlantic swells can significantly increase this. The spot suits intermediate riders comfortable with rock hazards and open-water conditions. Low wind reliability means sessions require patience and flexible scheduling.
