Surf is the face height at the beach after the swell is filtered for the way Marloes Sands faces. Arrows point to where the swell and wind come from: an arrow pointing up means from the north. Tide is the height at Martin's Haven 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

Marloes Sands faces south. Measured from the seabed, it is open to swell from SE 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 Marloes Sands works

Swell
Best from the south west.
Wind
Offshore is from the north east; anything with south in it is onshore and messes it up.
Tide
low tide.
Getting there
Head to Marloes along from Milford Haven park in the car park and follow the signs... wear walking shoes..

good low tide break, but fills up completely at high tide... A bit of a walk to the break (10 mins) means it's rarely busy..
