Table - best surf conditions forecast for Aberavon over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's look at what's cooking for Aberavon over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty flat spell for Aberavon. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny waves ahead, nothing worth paddling out for. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn't show up until Sunday, July 19th, and even then, it’s small.
For the next week and a half, we’re looking at waves mostly around 0.3 ft to 1 ft from the WSW and W. The combined swell energy is weak, spending days down at just 1 or 2, and occasionally nudging up to 28, which is still nothing to get excited about. The water is a very unusual 68°, much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze if you do a paddle-out with no waves.
There is a small bump on July 19th. Sunday morning it’s a tiny 1 ft from the NW with a short period, and by the afternoon we see a 3 ft swell from the W, which is the biggest of the whole period. The combined energy jumps to 54, still weak, but it’s something. The window is short and the wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit bumpy.
The standout, if you can call it that, is Monday, July 20th morning. Another small 2 ft from the W with a period of 7 seconds and a light cross-shore wind. The energy is 46, matching the previous day’s high. It's not great, but for this stretch, it's as good as it gets. Aberavon is a fairly consistent spot, so this blank run is a bit of a bummer, but it won't stay poor forever.
Cheers,
Rusty

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.

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.
