Just hope the wind stays light all day as we have a nice small 2 meter ground swell pushing in from the south west currently which will light up Crab island and other spots. The beginners spots of Caswell and Rhossili Bays should be nice all day for practicing in.
It is probably a good day to take off work as there has been no surf for 3 weeks and you may as well make the most of it... fill you boots day!

Surf all week here on Gower and South West facing coastline, wind and weather is another thing!
Just make the most of what you see and if wind drops jump in and get some waves, by the way some days may be fairly big for this time of year so if in doubt do not go out...

Well, what can we say, it has been non - stop surf for the whole school holidays with only one morning flat then it picked up after lunch. Several fun sessions out at Crab Island and some cleanish swells for the famous Gower reefs and Rhossili Beach.
The good news is that surfline's long range forecast via 'Lola' is showing surf all the way up to the bank holiday weekend. There is a slim chance that the bank holiday weekend may be epic with thanks to a storm named 'Bill' currently winding himself up down there close to the West Indies.
Bill is forecast to track towards the eastern seaboard of the USA and hopefully stay in the Ocean sending a long distance swell to us here in the South West. In fact the Lola models are showing a small 17 second period swell for next Friday/Saturday so fingers crossed that Bill leaves the Islanders and east coasters alone and sends all his energy towards Europe for the first good swell of the season.
You can track Bill and other storms via numerous websites or simply join Surfline as a member, well worth it!

Sorry if some of the messages are waffle, we are new to all this but hopefully with the increasing costs of everything we will help you choose which beach and when to go for a surf rather than wasting petrol and gate money for a beach car park.
We will do a recording every morning regarding Gower surfing then add a little bit of what is going on in the surfing world or talk about news articles on surfline, a1surf and other major surfers portals with links to the particular page via our twitter account.
PLEASE note that the conditions change from the time we post the surf update so keep an eye on our twitter account for any updates throughout the day. (Or suscribe to it > Surfgsd Twitter)
The main thing is that it is FREE for all and is all put together with the aid of:
GowerLive, Surfline, A1surf, WindGuru, Stormsurf, BBC shipping forecast, Gower surf report
