Definitely a time to head for protected beaches such as Coney, Southerndown, Caswell, Langland all around the Cardiff, Swansea Coastlines. The swell is huge with massive onshore winds so need to get onto the protected areas to get a clean wave anywhere, just remember there is swell but there is also wind
Its nearly 2018 and I must say 2017 has been another fantastic year of adventure and activity here in South Wales, the Canyoning, Gorge Walking and Coasteering have been the big favourites as always, with a splash of surf and beach activities, we have welcomed Stag groups, Hen parties, scout groups, youth groups, corporates and individuals alike through out a very busy year. 2018 is looking to be shaping up the same with groups booking well in advance to join in the fun and games here in South Wales. So HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL , BE SAFE AND WE'LL SEE YOU IN 2018.
