Surf is the face height at the beach after the swell is filtered for the way Manorbier faces. Arrows point to where the swell and wind come from: an arrow pointing up means from the north. Tide is the height at Stackpole Quay above chart datum, rising ↑ or falling ↓; the rating drops when the tide is outside the window this break works on. Amber marks the sessions worth setting an alarm for. From Wednesday the swell comes from Météo-France's 10-day model, which is coarser than the 5 km German model used close in. Hours no model reaches are left blank, not shown as flat.

Exposure

Manorbier faces south-west. Measured from the seabed, it is open to swell from S round to W; the brighter a wedge, the deeper the water in that direction and the more of the swell gets in. Anything from behind the headlands scores nothing, however big the buoy says it is.

How Manorbier works

Swell
Best from the south west.
Wind
Offshore is from the north east; anything with south-west in it is onshore and messes it up.
Tide
all tides.
Getting there
Between Pembroke and tenby on the a4139 road.

Beach and reef breaks, with very impresive surrounding.. well worth a vist.. Good place to go when the prevailing winds are blowing!!
