Boilers, located in Gower, is a challenging surf spot known for its shallow left reef break. Accessing the beach can be tricky, as there’s no parking available and it requires a long walk. The path is rocky, and conditions can get sketchy at high tide due to the swell hitting the cliffs, making it less than ideal for beginners or those looking for an easy day out.

The waves here are best suited for experienced surfers. The optimal swell direction is from the Southwest, with acceptable swells coming from the South and West. It can handle swell sizes of around 3 feet (about 0.9 meters). The wave breaks over an uneven reef, forming a left-handed wave. The ideal wind direction is from the Northeast, and this spot works well during low to mid tide, so timing is essential to catch it at its best.

Due to the nature of the reef and the strong rip currents pulling away from the peak, it is recommended that surfers have a good level of skill to tackle the conditions here. If you’re not an expert, you might want to reconsider hitting this spot, especially since it can be quite rocky and rippy at high tide.
