North Wales Surf Breaks
The very top of North Wales offers very little surf. The three main peaks there face N so are more than likely to only get local swell mixed with a favorable wind. A huge SW ground swell to wrap around Anglesey would be needed for anything to go off and even then you'd be lucky. Friendly area with plenty of places to eat and sleep if you're making trip of it.
