Fontygary Bay does not currently carry an annual bathing water classification.

Natural Resources Wales issues a daily pollution risk forecast during the bathing season, and Dŵr Cymru publishes live storm overflow status.

The regulator records this as a bathing water whose quality can be affected by heavy rain, which is why rainfall in the last 24 hours is shown above.
