Historical data

Location guide

Llangennith, tucked away on the Gower Peninsula in the United Kingdom, is highly revered among surfing enthusiasts. This beach is famed for its consistent surf conditions, making it a thriving hub for local and international surfers alike. Its three-mile stretch of sandy beach takes the form of an open bay fringed by rolling sand dunes. Llangennith is a beach break, meaning that waves break over a sandy seabed - the perfect conditions for both beginners and intermediate surfers. The waves here are usually groundswells and the best wave direction is from the west southwest. This set up allows for a solid combination of left and right breaks with reasonable surf at all stages of the tide. It's worth noting that the area is prone to riptides, especially around the river mouth towards Broughton. These unpredictable water movements tend to be stronger after heavy rains as a lot more water is rushing towards the sea. Therefore, it's vital to understand the daily tidal conditions and always adhere to any safety advice provided by the local lifeguard service. The wind factor also plays a role in enhancing or impairing surfing conditions. Typically, the ideal wind direction is from the east and groundswells are more common than wind swells. However, during stormier weather, the strong western-facing winds can cause larger, choppier waves, making it a paradise for experienced surfers. Climate-wise, the best time for surfing at Llangennith is during late summer to early winter, when Atlantic swells are at their peak. Surf size ranges from 3 feet to as high as 5 feet and more during these months. But remember, the water temperature in the UK varies throughout the year, and often requires a good quality wetsuit, booties, gloves and even a hoodie. While Llangennith provides an excellent surfing environment with its reliable waves, spacious beach, and picturesque surroundings, it's always crucial to consider your own skill level, as well as observe weather conditions and follow local advice. Always practice safe surfing and relish the extraordinary experience of riding the Llangennith waves.
