Build Confidence, Catch Waves And Spend More Time In The Sea
Join Outer Reef Surf Camp in Pembrokeshire for a full-day or multi-day surfing experience designed for young surfers, families and beginners who want more than a standard lesson.
Our surf camp combines beach coaching, water safety, wave confidence, surfboard skills, goal setting and plenty of time in the sea. It is ideal for school holidays, family breaks, birthday groups and young surfers who want to progress with friendly instructors.

Freshwater West, Manorbier, Newgale And The Best Beach On The Day
Outer Reef chooses the surf camp location based on conditions. In the main season, camp often uses consistent surf beaches such as Freshwater West, Manorbier and Newgale. Earlier and later in the season, locations can vary more widely across Pembrokeshire depending on swell and wind.
The exact beach is usually confirmed close to the session so the team can choose the safest and most suitable waves for learning.
