Gwynedd · open water conditions information
Black Rock Sands (Porthmadog) is a coastal location in Gwynedd, one of 23 Gwynedd spots covered by NippyIndex.
The shore faces broadly south, so it is most open to wind and swell arriving from the south.
As a tidal location, its tide predictions are referenced to the nearest tidal station, Criccieth.
NippyIndex draws on published marine and weather data (sea state, wave information and water temperature) and UKHO tidal predictions.
