Rest Bay Live Weather For Kitesurf, Windsurf and Surf

Tides - for the week ahead

Rest Bay Weather is a live weather station situated at Rest Bay, Porthcawl and run by Kite Club Wales.

Rest Bay is a great place for all water sports including: surfing, kitesurfing and windsurfing. In 2019 a council funded water sports centre was opened with a cafe/restaurant, changing rooms and surf shop. There is a large carpark within a few hundred meters of the beach, the parking wardens are hot so don’t forget your ticket.

Rest Bay boasts some of the best conditions in South Wales but it is also an extremely popular beach with surfers and holiday makers. The kite zone is to the west end of the beach, past the red building to the right as you look out to sea. Please do not kite amongst the surfers or swimmers, they do not like it.
