Langland Bay
Langland Bay is a sheltered cove on the Gower Peninsula, ideal for smaller swells and beginners. Faces south-west but is protected by headlands on both sides, so works best in bigger swells that wrap into the bay. The reef at the east end produces a quality right-hander for experienced surfers. Best at mid to high tide. Parking can be difficult in summer.
Conditions look mixed today with moderate onshore wind and a dropping swell period through the afternoon. Best bet is the early morning push before the wind picks up. Tomorrow looks cleaner with a slight shift in direction.
