WHAT BEACHES DO WE TEACH ON?

Main Season - June to August

You will mostly find us at Freshwater West and Manorbier and Newgale Beach. These beaches have the most consistent waves to learn to surf on in Wales.

Early & Late Season - April to May / September to November

You are more likely to find us all over Pembrokeshire as we pick the best waves during the larger swells and stronger winds that come around at this time of year. Freshwater West, Manorbier Beach, Tenby, Saundersfoot, Broad Haven South, Newgale, and more.

In all cases, the exact beach that your surf camp will take place at will be decided upon the day before and will depend on the conditions forecasted for that day. We will pick the best and safest beach for learning and meet you at the beach 15 minutes prior to your surf lesson.

Testimonials

My 10-year-old daughter Love the surf camp

"I was SO scared of the big waves at first, but my instructor was really nice and made me feel brave! We started with tiny waves and I caught my first wave in like 20 minutes - I was screaming with excitement! There were only 6 kids in my group so I got loads of help. Now I want to come back every holiday and be a surf instructor when I'm older! Mum says the surf camp was the best £40 she's ever spent!"
Emma, age 10, Birmingham | Two-Day Surf Camp

The Outer Reef Team

"I went to Outer Reef Surf Camp for the WHOLE summer and it was the best thing ever! My little brother came too and even our cousins from London joined when they visited. The instructors are so cool and they taught us proper surf tricks and how to be safe in the water. Every day was different and exciting - I learned to duck dive and everything! All my friends are jealous because I can surf now. Mum and Dad said we're definitely going back next summer because it's the best surf school in Wales. Thank you Outer Reef - you're awesome!"
Jake, age 10, Haverfordwest | Summer Surf Camp

Outer Reef is in a league of its own

"I've been to surf schools in Cornwall with my family before, but Outer Reef is WAY better! The instructors have been teaching for like 25 years so they know everything about surfing. Their surfboards are really good quality and not all dinged up like other places. Manorbier Beach was perfect because the waves weren't too scary but still fun to ride. I told all my friends at school about it and now 5 of them want to come next holidays! My dad says it's the best surf school we've ever been to."
Charlie, age 10, London | Summer Surf Camp

My dad booked surf camp

"My dad booked surf camp for me and my 7 friends from school at the last minute for my birthday party - it was the BEST day ever! None of us had ever surfed before but after 2 hours at Freshwater West we were all riding waves like proper surfers! My dad said £40 was really good value compared to other surf schools. The instructors made us feel really safe and it was so much fun from the very first minute. We're already asking our parents if we can all come back for the summer holidays!"
Ben, age 10, Bristol | Birthday Party Group of 8
