Llwyngwril is a surf spot located on a boulder beach that has a long left point break. It attracts surfers looking for a challenge, particularly when big swells come in from the southwest. The area can experience a strong northward sweep, which makes it important for surfers to be cautious, as it can be hard to paddle against. This spot is generally better suited for experienced surfers due to the conditions.
The best swell direction for Llwyngwril is southwest, though it can also handle swells coming from the west. It can manage swell sizes of around 3 feet (about 1 meter) and produces left-breaking waves over boulders. For a good session, aim for mid to high tide, especially with southeast winds, which tend to create better conditions.
Accessing the spot involves parking at the side of the road and carefully crossing the railway tracks. Given the strong sweep north, it's advisable for only expert surfers to tackle these waves. Be prepared for the challenge the beach presents, and plan accordingly for your surf sessions.
