Description

Oxwich Bay - Gower Peninsula Oxwich Bay features a beach break with both right and left-hand waves, characterized by a sandy bottom interspersed with rocks. The waves can be hollow and fast, but this spot requires a significant swell, ideally over 1.8 meters, to start breaking. It works best at high tide, with instant access available from the nearby car park. Located in the picturesque Gower Peninsula, Oxwich Bay attracts a diverse crowd of surfers, making it a lively spot, particularly on weekends. While the beach can become crowded, the atmosphere remains enjoyable for all skill levels. Access involves a short walk from a private car park, which can be costly. For those willing to explore, nearby points and reefs offer more challenging conditions, rewarding experienced surfers with thrilling rides over shallow, rocky bottoms. When the conditions align, Oxwich Bay can deliver memorable sessions amidst stunning scenery.
