Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s size this one up in feet and miles.
Honestly, Aberavon is looking pretty dead for a long while. There’s a real flat spell stretching from now, right through most of July. The first time you’ll see anything worth a sniff is the 21st of July. That’s a wait of about 15 days with nothing doing. The water’s running at about 67° right now, which is much warmer than the usual for this time, but it doesn’t help the waves.
The only highlight in the whole run is the 21st of July. Tuesday morning and afternoon show a clean, moderate offshore breeze from the NE. Swell comes in at about 3ft from the WNW, with a short period of 6 seconds. Combined energy is weak (72 and 85), so expect a bit of a mushy, gutless wave. Aberavon is an exposed beach and reef setup that likes SW swell, but a WNW pulse with offshore wind can make it workable. Not one for beginners. Crowds are possible when it breaks.
That’s it. Nothing else in this window comes close. Stick to the forecasts, because that’s all we’ve got to bank on.
Rusty.

Information about the Aberavon Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Aberavon provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Aberavon can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Aberavon surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Aberavon) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
