Surf is the face height at the beach after the swell is filtered for the way Llangennith faces. Arrows point to where the swell and wind come from: an arrow pointing up means from the north. Tide is the height at Burry Port above chart datum, rising ↑ or falling ↓; the rating drops when the tide is outside the window this break works on. Amber marks the sessions worth setting an alarm for. From Wednesday the swell comes from Météo-France's 10-day model, which is coarser than the 5 km German model used close in. Hours no model reaches are left blank, not shown as flat.

Exposure

Llangennith faces west. Measured from the seabed, it is open to swell from S round to NW; the brighter a wedge, the deeper the water in that direction and the more of the swell gets in. Anything from behind the headlands scores nothing, however big the buoy says it is.

How Llangennith works

Swell
Best from the south west.
Wind
Offshore is from the north east; anything with west in it is onshore and messes it up.
Tide
all tides.
Getting there
Just down the coast from Swansea.

Surfable on all tides. Great for groms or anyone looking for a long board wave on a sunny day.

31 Jul 2005 · Alasdair Evans i was just up at llangennith the past week and it was wicked. if u go u must eat at "eddies" and "the kings head" and a must is go to "pj surf shop" he is awsome. the surf wasn't great when i was there but there were a good amount of 4-5 ft and can go much bigger. if u want a good surf this is the place to go!!!
