Barry Island Beach Swimming Forecast

Barry Island · United Kingdom

Barry Island Beach scores 76/100 for swimming today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces S. A wide, south-facing crescent of sand on the Bristol Channel, sheltered from strong westerly winds. Surf is typically small, with only the largest swells producing rideable waves that break from mid to high tide, best at the eastern end; the beach also suits novice windsurfing in SW winds. The tidal range here can reach around 10 metres, with strong currents at times. RNLI lifeguards patrol from Easter weekends through a daily summer season, 10am-6pm.
