Table - best surf conditions forecast for Aberavon over the next 16 days.
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s be real about this Aberavon forecast. For the next 16 days, the first chunk is a total bust. From the 10th of July right through to the 20th, we’re looking at flatness. The wave heights are 0.3ft to 1ft – that’s not a wave, that’s a ripple. The combined swell energy tops out at 28, which is weak. The water is a warm 67°F, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year, but you won’t be surfing it.
You’ve got to wait for the 22nd of July. That Wednesday morning, the energy jumps to 151 (moderate) with a 4ft swell out of the WSW. The period is short at 7 seconds, so it’s windswell, but it’s the only real push we get. The wind is light from the SE, making it a clean cross-shore. That’s your window. The afternoon drops to 4ft with 118 energy, but the wind swings cross-onshore, so the morning is the pick.
For beginners, 4ft with short period and a side wind is a bit tricky. The 25th of July (Saturday) has another 4ft pulse, but the wind is onshore at 16 mph, making it choppy and ugly. That’s a kiter’s day, not a surfer’s.
So, the long and short of it: the first 12 days are a no-go. The only session that’s even worth considering is the morning of 22 July at Aberavon. It’s small and short-period, but the wind is the best we’ll see. Grab it if you’re desperate.
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.
