I would favour Penmeanmawr myself especially when taking a novice, 20min further up the coast but you have a good chance of some Dogs there which can offer some sport bearing in mind around here were just entering Rockling season and as Mick says were on small tides at the mo !
I would suggest 14.30 - 18.00 over high with Mackeral or Lug if you decide to go !
Good luck where ever you end up
