Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Aberavon over this 16-day stretch.
Right off the bat, I’ll be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’ve got a long, flat spell ahead. For the first week and a half, from Sunday the 5th right through to Monday the 13th, there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 2ft, and the period is short, so the wave energy is weak – we’re talking values down in the tens, like 52 on the Sunday. Add in onshore and cross-onshore winds, and it’s just choppy, poor surf. Not a single standout in that whole first block.
We finally see a flicker of life on Tuesday the 14th morning. For a brief moment, the combined energy bumps up to 50, with a 1ft swell from the WSW and a 9-second period. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the east, keeping things clean. It’s better than what we’ve seen, but it’s tiny. The kind of day where a longboard might catch a few if you’re desperate. After that, the energy nose-dives again through the rest of the week, and by the weekend of the 19th, we’re back to almost nothing – combined energy values of 1 or 2. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
So, the honest truth? There’s no standout session here at all. The only window that even qualifies as "surfable" is the morning of Tuesday the 14th, and even then, it’s just ordinary. This is one of those periods where you’re better off checking the forecasts again in a few days because things can change, but for now, it’s a pretty blank run, which sometimes happens around here.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
