Surf: Langland is the spot for South Wales’ surfers with something for everyone depending on the tide. At high tide there’s The Shorey, until Rotherslade lefts and The Reef start working as the tide drops. At lower tides, Middle of the Bay, the Sandbar and Shit Pipe are all very busy all the time. Versatile, crowded and vastly over rated beach that's rarely offshore. Access: Always busy, lots of locals, rips and rocks and boards are hazards. Environment: Some rips on the outside peaks. Pay to park year-round – gets rammed in summer. Surf: General: Home to a score of breaks, from points, to reefs and beachies, each with its own crews and its own moods. The most famous draw is Crab Island, an offshore reef that sticks its head above water at low tide. The take-off is an elevator drop, which leads into a fast walling right with rewarding barrels in clean swells. Home to one of the most core crews in Wales, snagging set waves isn't an easy task. Note, the heavy rip can push away from the peak. Outside Point is a low tide, mellow reef popular with longboarders. Inside Point and S*** Pipe is a mid-tide reef with walling rights, again popular with longboarders. Langland Reef (Kevs) is a busy, mid-tide peak with a short left and long right. Middle Of The Bay (MOTB) is a left that breaks into a strong rip opposite The Reef - which is actually a sandbank. Rotherslade Left, out from MOTB, has walling lefts over a low tide sandbank. Tides: Breaks through the tides. Size: Waist high to head and a half. Wind: N Swell: SW Bottom: Mix of sandbanks and reefs. Paddling: Rips when big and on dropping tide. Spot Rating: Flexible, with fun to classic breaks, loads of potential to find good peaks in clean swells. Access: Beachfront parking. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Always busy. Local Vibe: Competitive, but relaxed with a bit of humility and respect. Environment: OK. Hazards: Rips, shallow, crowds. Season: Works year round, but best September - February.
