More about Llangennith / Rhossili surfspot

5km stretch of average yet consistent beachbreak. Picks up all available swell and is popular with all abilities and types of wavecraft. Over head height, the paddle out is renowned for its difficulty. Three Peaks at the N end has more size and power, while Rhossili at the S end picks up less swell and has shelter from S quadrant winds. Rips and jellyfish.

General: 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 tend to lack punch and definition, however it does break regularly and works through the tides. This spot prefers small surf, as larger swells tend to close out, meaning a hell paddle through the channel-free whitewater. One of the epicentres of the Welsh surf scene. Tides: Breaks through the tides. Size: Thigh high to overhead. Wind: E Swell: W/NW/SW Bottom: Sand. Paddling: Not much of a channel, so can be hard work. Spot Rating: Beautiful, consistent, fun spot with unchallenging waves.
