Friday Morning in Llangennith it was really small, about 1ft. Was rubbish.

Saturday evening in Caswell was about 1-2ft choppy, conditions were a bit weak and you could only catch a few decent waves.

Tonight in Llanegennith was about 2-3ft choppy, huge crowd out in the water. Was quite difficult to get any waves without being snaked or someone infront of you.

Caught 1 lovely wave , had my timing just right on my turn as the wave section infront of me was breaking , managed a roundhouse cutback. It felt amazing having the board turn so sharply (like 180), keeping my balance just right and landing it so I was still riding the white water after it broke. Think Lady Luck was with me on that one.

Just come back from a weekend in croyde. Had an awesome kitesurf in 3-4ft of swell at putsborough, hooked up with phil today and surfed saunton at 3-4ft for 6 hours! Not epic but still really good, lots of nice rides to be had!

[Mitur Bin'esderty]

[kitesurfer]

About 1/2 mile down the beach.

Gennith was quite jammed on Saturday, was there from about 11 til 6 though it was calming down around that time.

Waves were 2-3ft choppy and quite hard to get a decent one because of people infront, as you said, especially bodyboarders. Crosswinds were a bit of a pain, too.

Conditions should be looking up soon though.

suprised you found gennith so small on fridya, must have picked up quick cos it was a lumpy 4ft when i got there friday eve. smaller and crappy today tho (3ft mess) and frustrating with my fitness being really low after being ill

Hit the stome swell that came in with the front on Sat avo/night and how refreshing was it to surf on a sat, in augaust, on a bank holiday... and it was just Me, Nick Thorn and on e of the other local crew out back on main beach.

4-5ft Storm pits and sucks, supprising for main beach but still just a little too phat for my liking. Good session however, fast :)

4-6ft messy + choppy at Gennith this evening. Why is it that whenever we get a decent size swell it turns out to be messy, choppy, lumpy and onshore?

Managed to get some nice rides though so it wasn't that bad, I dream of a day where it will be 5-6ft clean

Also some vandals have changed the Hillend sign at the mini roundabout,
from Hillend to Bellend

[GowerCharger]

bellend is the correct name, only the owners and tourists call it hillend

geniith goes off at 5ft clean, only happens a few times a year tho.

Hey..

choppy at fistral today so a good paddling work out for your arms!! But umm, caught 2 waves that were so much fun it made me remember why I just love surfing, I'm really pleased, it's been ages since I've had a good surf (well, a week and a half anyway)...

The best bit is the drop, I just go crazy I love it! Wish I could bottle that feeling

[iomarti]

oh and also, the waves were so decieving, because they looked like they'd be decent, they'd start to rise, myself and others surfers would start to paddle for it (obviously not all at the same time).... we'd start to get excited, and then the wave would just absolutely flatten...and we were left with absolutely no wave..

Is there a name for this? Everyone out there was getting really frustrated, that was quite funny, seeing everyone get annoyed!

[IdRatherBeSurfing]

i think they call it gutless chop thats what I call it and my local break had LOADS

[Laguna]

Was really rough today at Gennith, roughly 5-6ft out the back but the paddle out was really hard. Brings back winter surfing memories. Must have been about 300m of 2-3ft white water you had to paddle through. These big messy sets just kept coming and coming.
Looking forward to tomorrow

[GowerCharger]

yeah i was down gennith thurs night, was about 4ft and really nice, best ive seen in a while. Went down caswell today, few nice waves off redcliff before the tidfe turned and it went crap, paddled over to caswell but it was just crappy closeouts and i got hassled by the beach nazis (lifeguards)

[north bank lass]

Yeah the paddle out down Gennith was really difficult yesterday, but atleast there was a bigger period...last time I went it was 2-3ft messy in the front sets with like a period of 6 secs. Couldn't get anywhere!

[Laguna]

its 6-7ft messy on the Llangennith cam today with 31mph onshore winds - crazy

fleshin' spring, surfs xxxxx in sydney, has been for 2 weeks..looks like no end in sight. goodbye epic winter.

After years of missed oportunities, waiting and not being in the right place at the right time I FINALLY!!!!!!!!! surfed the back garden reef.

It was my last evening before we had to pack up the van to start our errens before we up to North Wales for the winter. It wasn't ideal with a bit of chop about but the swell was solid and dispite the tide being a little too high the shipwreck was breaking about 4ft with a real suckky bowl almost weding slightly as the swell wrapped about the take off area. great fun all on my own, doubt anymore than a handful of people have ever surfed this place. Stoke is high !
