The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days for Aberavon are a real struggle. We're looking at a long stretch of flat, weak conditions with no real quality surf to speak of for the entire period. Honestly, the first two weeks will be a write-off, with barely a ripple and the water temperature way warmer than normal at 68°F, which is a massive 9°F above average for this time of year. That’s just weird.
The first real sniff of any energy doesn't show up until the 25th of July, but even then it’s grim. On Saturday the 25th, the afternoon sees a bump to 2ft from the west with a clean 11-second period, and the combined energy is a weak 88. It’s a cross-onshore wind, though, so it’ll be a choppy mess. No standout here.
The 26th of July, Sunday morning, brings a slightly bigger 3ft swell from the west-southwest, but it’s onshore, and the energy is only moderate at 131. The afternoon is the same story: 3ft, onshore wind, and lumpy. This is the best of what’s on offer, and it’s barely a knee-high dribble with poor conditions.
From the 27th onward, the swell drops away again, with weak energy and onshore or cross-onshore winds. There is nothing here that will get a surfer out of bed. The best advice is to find something else to do for the next two and a half weeks. This is one of those blank runs that can happen in this area.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the forecasts – they can change.
Rusty.

Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Aberavon may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
