Llangennith Surf Guide
This three-mile stretch of flat sand, set against a vast expanse of dunes, is hugely popular. The sheer size of the beach and the inconsistency of distinguished sandbars means that the waves can lack punch and definition, however it does break regularly and works through the tides. Prefers small/mid-sized surf, as larger swells tend to close out and the paddle-out can be tricky.
Ability Level
Beginner - Intermediate
Good for all, popular with beginners when small.

Welcoming

Crowd Factor
Moderate
Crowded during holidays and weekends but its a 3 mile stretch of sand so there's plenty of room to spread out. Easy enough to find your own peak if you're willing to walk north or south.
