Aberavon Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a grim stretch ahead for Aberavon. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and messy, and there’s no real standout surf to get excited about. We’ve got a long gap of poor conditions before anything even becomes rideable.

The forecast shows a run of weak, mostly onshore or cross-onshore wind, with tiny swell for days. The water is sitting at a notable 66°F – that’s 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year, which is very unusual, but it won’t help the waves.

We start off with Tuesday 8th September afternoon – a 5ft swell from the west, but it’s getting hammered by a 19 mph cross-on wind, making for lumpy, poor surf. The combined energy is moderate at 372, but with that wind, it’s a write-off. Wednesday and Thursday are similar – small, weak, and choppy. Friday 11th morning offers a glimmer with 4ft from the WSW and a gentle cross-shore breeze, but the surf is still poor and the energy is low (188). The whole first week is a washout.

The best we can see is on Tuesday 15th September morning. It’s a tiny 2ft swell from the WSW, but the wind goes glassy – a light offshore breeze. The water is clean, and while the waves are small and ordinary, it’s the only window with any real hope for a paddle. The energy is weak at 53. Still, for a desperate soul, it’s the pick of a very poor bunch.

After that, we’re back to flatness and rotten wind until the very end of the window. On Monday 22nd September morning, there’s a small 2ft swell from the WSW with a clean cross-off breeze from the east. The (combined energy of all swells directed here) is 86, still weak, but it’s clean. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.

The long-range stuff around 23rd September sees a 14-second period swell, but it’s only 1.0ft and cross-on, so it’s a tease. Bottom line: if you’re desperate, aim for the 15th or the 22nd mornings, but don’t expect much. This is a quiet spell for Aberavon.

Rusty.
