However, there is little difference between the waves along the whole length of the beach here. Don't bear right, but go straight on, just after this junction is the entrance to the 'Golf Course Car park'. This is where most of us tend to congregate. This area of the beach catches more swell than elsewhere, but is also the most affected by the wind. NW winds produce nice conditions as do SW winds which bring more swell with them.
Westerly winds are directly onshore.
Jay landsailing in the distance. This area is also the place of choice for landsailing and kiting and the steady winds produce good conditions, and the hard flat sands exposed as the tide drops are ideal. Although the North end of Borth beach is technically in Ynyslas, the area we refer to when we say Ynyslas is that of the estuary formed by the River Dovey. 2.8m Predator kite at Ynyslas. There have been occasions when I've been planing with a 5.5m sail here while smoke rises vertically from the chimneys a mile away in Borth.
