south wales surfing

[f1rob]

Hi my friend is taking a month off and doing a surfing/mountain biking road trip starting in Scotland,through wales all the way down to lands end
He,s calling in to see me and Mrs rob in Cwmavon just outside port Talbot and will be doing Afan Argoed an another downhill place in the valleys
But where do you go for surfing in the Swansea bay Gower area ???
Any advice appreciated

Maybe a bit too far, but Llantwit Major and Porthcawl seem to be popular surfing spots.

Not a surfer but from Porthcawl. Most people go to Rest Bay.

I wouldn't bother with Swansea Bay it's as flat as a pancake. I hear Caswell bay is quite good? Llangennith and Rhossili too.

Hi there. Down the Gower is where he should go some of the best surfing around mate.

I've been surfing a few times in Llangennith, camp site right by the beach if you need it too.

Caswell is one of my favourite breaks when it's working well. Can be a bit peaky, nice beach car park fills early in the summer.

Another vote for Llangennith. I've not been for a couple of years but that was always the one I went to. Nice long beach so there's a bit more room than some places.

Thanks for the replies so far I will pass them on
Don't think he will mind a bit of travelling considering the mileage he is doing the next month ! Had said to him he would probably have to go to the gower

If he is good, Llantwit Major can be excellent, but it often sucks dry onto bare rock
