Frequently Asked Questions

What tide is best at Manorbier?

The Manorbier profile favors high tide. Compare this preference with the forecast tide and local conditions before choosing a session.

What wind direction is offshore at Manorbier?

The Manorbier profile uses wind from NNE (20°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 350° to 60°. Wind speed matters too: light winds outside that range can still produce surfable conditions, while strong offshore winds can make takeoffs difficult.

What swell size and direction work best at Manorbier?

The Manorbier scoring profile favors swell from SW (190° to 260°), a swell-height range of 1m to 2.5m, and a reference period of 13s. These are model inputs, not guaranteed breaking-wave heights or a promise that the surf will suit every ability.
