Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Aberavon over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead. We’re looking at a long, hard run of weak, messy surf with barely a pulse for most of the next 15 days. The water is sitting at 67°, which is a whopping 8° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s super unusual, feels like we’re in a tropical bubble.
From Friday the 3rd right through to Saturday the 18th, it’s a drought. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2 ft, with weak wave energy (often under 100, like 104 down to a measly 1). The wind is almost always cross-onshore, chopping up whatever little bump is there. A few mornings like the 9th, 10th, 12th, and 14th look clean with offshore ESE winds, but the swell is just too small (0.7 ft to 1 ft) to push a wave. There’s a moment on the morning of the 8th that’s glassy, but the swell is only 1.0 ft – you’d be floating, not surfing.
The one glimmer of hope comes on Saturday the 18th. The morning session looks like the only call. The wind goes glassy, and we finally see a pulse of energy from the WSW at 4 ft and a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 217 – that’s moderate energy, something you can actually work with. It’s a small window though, because by the afternoon the wind swings onshore and turns it to crud. For a beach/reef/pier setup like Aberavon, the morning on the 18th is your best bet. The swell direction from the WSW is right on the money for the break’s optimum.
Given the long run of nothing, it’s not a total shock – the area can go quiet. But that Saturday morning (18th) is the only standout, and it’s a short-lived one. Don’t hold your breath for the rest.

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.
