i live next to "the bitches" pembrokeshire and it is awesome ( you should do it at least once in your life ), the beauty of it is whitesands beach is next to it if you fancy a bit of classic ocean surfing, it gets packed in the summer though so go to newgale 6 miles down the road. take the advice of others on here and know your surfing etiquette and you will be fine. a good book to read is "kayak surfing" by bill mattos. everything you need to know before you go out is covered, and most the moves you can pull are explained.
i prefer ocean surfing due to the size of the waves, at least once a month we get 10 - 15 ft faces, bigger than most rivers. i feel i can get more speed and height on ocean waves, but i do have to get the moves down quicker. i like the way that when you are tired you can mellow out at the back and catch your breath before heading back into the set for another bashing.
