Kiting Restrictions
A recent accident here associated with a BKSA kitesurfing event has lead to
talks between the BKSA and local authorities. Nothing has been decided yet,
but it looks as though regulations of some sort to prevent further kite
related accidents occurring will soon be enforced.

The water quality. Dont even bother going there, its terrible, brown oily
water with occasional raw sewage
Restrictions: Difficult to access at high tide
Comments: High local crime rate means regular car break ins/ thefts this
combined with poor water quality means I would reccomend anyone goes to
restbay or the gower.

Water Conditions
Hi, the sea water is a lot cleaner these days but can not guarentee the
surf. I recently moved here and have just started to learn to surf, so you
may need to take my comments with a pinch of salt.

Windsurfing at Aberavon
This is a bit of a longshot but are there any of you guys who sail at
Aberavon? I moved here last year and despite living less than 100m from
the beach I do not go out very ofton as there is no-one else out. There
are quite a few kite surfers but no windsurfers. Does anyone fancy a
blast?

Great Beach
Just started sailing Aberavon and thoroughly enjoying it. What a gem! Huge
beach and super safe and sailable on all states of the tide unlike Swansea
Bay. Good variety of conditions though mainly suited to improvers as there
is usually some swell running and hence shorebreak to get through. Nice
waves for wannabe wave sailors however they typically close out quickly
rather than peel. Though there are very few windsurfers around the beach is
very popular with kitesurfers and kite buggies so you usually have company.
The lifeguard station a reassuring bonus and so too is the Aberavon Life
Guards web site for real time wind info, when it is up. Water quality is
fine, this is the Bristol Channel so the water will always be murky!
