Suitability: There are rips, rocks and large waves. If you are into waves they are all worth it.
Wind & Tide: The beach works in SE, W and NW wind directions, and at most states of an incoming tide there is some kind of a wave somewhere in the bay. Although not often crowded this beach can produce awesome conditions on its day.
Facilities: The closest facilities are at Coney beach, the other side of the west point at Trecco (about 500 yards).
Kitesurfing: Possibly do-able, but the rips and rocks could make it interesting to say the least.
Surfing: West point will actually hold a bigger wave than Coney beach, which is right next door, but requires a bigger swell to work well. Very popular with longboarders, and those who don't like crowds.
Location: As per rest bay, but instead of turning left for Nottage, turn right for Bridgend. At the end of this road (newton-nottage road) you will come across a roundabout. Turn right (almost back on yourself) and head into town, past the globe garage for about 400 yards. At the left turn for "Sandy bay Caravan park" follow the road to the end. You are at the west end of Trecco bay.
