The last few weekends have seen some good weather, however, this weekend saw more in the way of cloud and we also had some rain on Saturday 29th.

John got this shot on Sunday morning, of the cloudy skies over the bay, with the familiar sight of St. Tudwal's Islands out in the bay. The photo was taken up in the Mynytho area and you can see some of the buildings of Abersoch on the middle-right hand side of the photo.

We have seen plenty of sunshine so far this month, which has been lovely, though air temperatures have remained on the cool side of average.

We saw a wonderful morning of weather on the Sunday of the bank holiday weekend, when we got that perfect combination of strong sunshine and hardly any breeze, which means we get less of a cooling effect from the sea and so some local warmth develops. It felt toasty on the beaches and will hopefully be a taster of more to come!

We have an in-house photo this week, taken during a day spent on Cilan Headland during the first edition of the "She Ultra" event.

A familiar view this week from John, but with a snowy background! It has been a cold week here in Abersoch and we even saw a wintry dusting on the ground in the village for a time.

The last photo of 2023 from John shows a stormy sea, which is something we have seen regularly over the last few weeks. The old lifeboat station on Penryn Du is clearly visible. This was built in the late 1800's and was used until its closure in 1931.

A photo on a warm October morning of the old timber posts of the jetty on Ty’n Tywyn Beach, Llanbedrog, is this week's photo from John. As we mentioned a few months back... "The posts were part of a structure dating back to the 1870's, which was used by the nearby quarries. The posts were recently under threat of removal, but a local campaign has ensured these historic timbers will remain in place."

Wing foiling has increased in popularity in the last 12 months and can be regularly seen out in the waters off the main beach.

The first weekend of September has seen the sunshine return, with some of the best conditions for some weeks. John snapped this photo looking across the golf course, as the early morning mist was clearing - so you can just make out the huts on the main beach in the distance.

Amidst the changeable weather this July, we have continued to see some decent periods on most days of the week. John got this morning shot of the main beach, which is now quieter again after a busy Abersoch Dinghy Week. The gusts of wind can be seen on the water with the wind coming in from the west-southwest (a cross-offshore direction for most of this beach).

The sun has come out for the first day of a holiday weekend and John got another classic view this week - of the outer harbour here in Abersoch, under the blue skies and warm sunshine.

This week's photo was taken on a sparkling day and shows the old timber posts of the jetty on Ty’n Tywyn Beach, Llanbedrog. The posts were part of a structure dating back to the 1870's, which was used by the nearby quarries. The posts were recently under threat of removal, but a local campaign has ensured these historic timbers will remain in place.

A view of the W&G Williams and SCYC end of the main beach, under clear skies and very warm early evening sunshine is this week's photo. The weather has been exceptional again in Abersoch over the last few days, with the very unusual figure of 30c exceeded on 3 consecutive days. The cooler seas which virtually surround the area normally keep such high values out of reach.

 

The photo was taken on 11/08/2022 and it was uploaded on this page on 14/08/2022.

With Abersoch seeing another beautiful spell of weather, this shot from John shows the calm waters of the harbour beach around high tide. The sea wall on the left of the photo was re-built in recent years, helping to protect the properties behind from winter storm surges.

The weather has turned more changeable, however, there have still been some lovely periods - as can be seen on this classic view, looking across the bridge into Abersoch. The tidal gates can be seen under the bridge, which open when the tide is going out and allows the Afon Soch to enter the harbour and the bay. The gates close on the incoming tide to prevent salt water flooding up the valley.

Looking across the bay towards the eastern end of Pen Llyn is this week's photo from John, with cloud over the higher ground of Snowdonia.

Abersoch's inner harbour at high tide is this week's photo from John. One of the older cottages in the village, Compass Cottage, can be seen centre right, with Tim's boatyard st back and just to the right of the cottage. A bit further to the right is the bridge into Abersoch, with the tidal gates beneath it, which prevents the high tide from surging up the Afon Soch. These open naturally once the tide turns, to allow the Soch to flow into the sea.

Porth Neigwl beach on a cool Sunday afternoon is this week's photo from John. In the distance is Rhiw headland and Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island). Porth Neigwl is also known as Hell's Mouth and often sees surf conditions, enjoyed by the local surfers, but also hazardous bathing conditions.

The weather across Pen Llyn has been really rather good during the last week and the lovely conditions were captured by John on this photo, which was taken on the Wales Coastal Path - which provides wonderful walking (and running) around this magnificent coastline. The island is of course St. Tudwal's West Island, which has a very famous owner!

Clear blue skies above Abersoch, on a rather windy Sunday morning, is this week's photo from John. The easterly element to the wind brings some very choppy conditions to the bay and some also noticeable variations in wind strengths across the local area.

A shot looking towards the beautiful little outer harbour in Abersoch is this week's photo from John, taken on a sparkling day. The short harbour wall provides enough shelter for several boats to be anchored there for most of the year.

Colder weather has arrived after the glorious March spell which saw max temperatures of close to 20c on some days - which could be called a March "heatwave". This week's photo is from Tyddyn Talgoch Uchaf on Bwlchtocyn, looking down onto the the main beach and a rather choppy bay.

 

The photo was taken on 31/03/2022 and it was uploaded on this page on 02/04/2022.

The weather in Abersoch has been more like summer this week than March, with the wind dropping out times to help the local warmth build. Plenty of people took advantage of the weather and headed to the beach. John took this shot from near the the cafe by the Golf Road slipway onto the main beach.

 

The photo was taken on 26/03/2022 and it was uploaded on this page on 27/03/2022.

A shot of the beach huts on the main beach is again the view this week, as the easterly winds make pattern in the sand. The easterly weather often brings noticeable variations in wind strengths during the day in Abersoch, but also plenty of sunshine.

Phill Boyd is this week's guest photographer and he was out and about capturing images of Storm Eunice. It looks as though the Abersoch area escaped the worst of the weather, but gusts in excess of 80mph were recorded locally. This is the main beach, with a large shore dump and a higher than normal tide.


The photo was taken on 18/02/2022 and it was uploaded on this page on 18/02/2022.

The northern end of the main beach, bathed in wintry sunlight, is this week's photo from John. The green links of the golf course can be seen in the foreground and Llanbedrog Head is in the background. Those links often turn quite brown / yellow in dry spells in the summer, due th the sandy soil, which also means they drain exceptionally well in winter.
