Surfing in St. Ouen's Bay, Jersey

Surfing is possible in this bay, on the west coast of Jersey, so long as the conditions are good.

Surfing is a popular sport in Jersey, and has been for a long time. The Jersey Surfboard Club are celebrating their 50th anniversary in 2009.

Some areas of the beach are covered by life guards during the summer, and you should only surf in the designated areas.

Current surfing conditions can be checked on-line here.

There's also a web-cam which provides a live view of the surf in the bay, you'll find that on this page.

Even if you don't like to get wet, St. Ouen's Bay is highly recommended for taking in the setting sun, photography, bird watching, walking, etc.
