Cold Knapp Gallery

Cold Knapp is a long pebble beach situated not far from Cardiff.  The geologists amongst you might get excited by the Jurassic cliffs surrounding the bay, although if you are an intermediate windsurfer there is also cause to be excited. Wind directions that work here are S, W and SW.

Look for wind reports in the current weather section from Cardiff airport to keep an eye on what's happening.

Features

Cold Knapp's proximity to Cardiff make it a popular venue for the windsurfer. It's a good place for a steady windsurf with easy access to the water.

Considerations

Tides can be strong in this region, characteristic of the Bristol channel.
