Llangennith
Llangennith sits at the north end of Rhossili Bay on the Gower Peninsula — the UK's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The three-mile beach faces south-west and picks up every Atlantic swell, producing consistent waves that work on all tides. Multiple peaks spread the crowd. More powerful than it looks when overhead. The walk from the car park keeps the numbers manageable.
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.
