Alright folks, Rusty here, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this 16-day forecast for Aberavon (beach/reef/pier) is a total bust. There’s absolutely no surf worth talking about. It’s a long, flat spell from start to finish. The combined swell energy barely touches the low triple digits, hitting a high of 106 over the whole run, and every one of those comes with poor conditions.
Starting off Saturday, the 4th of July, we’ve got a weak 0.5m swell from the W, period of 10 seconds, energy of 100, but a cross-onshore wind at 15 km/h makes a mess. Afternoon sees 1.1m from the WSW with a pathetic 6-second period and onshore wind at 25 km/h. Choppy and ugly. Sunday the 5th, Monday the 6th, Tuesday the 7th – tiny waves and onshore winds. Wednesday morning the 8th goes glassy, but it’s only 0.3m. Dead flat.
Moving into the second week, nothing changes. The biggest energy we get is 92 on Tuesday the 14th in the afternoon with a 0.6m swell from the W, but the moderate cross-shore chop ruins it. From Thursday the 16th onward it’s all under 0.5m and either cross-on or chopped out. A few mornings go clean with offshore breezes, but the swell is 0.2m to 0.3m – you’d be better off taking a bath.
With this kind of tiny, wind-affected swell, the setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. A blank run like this is pretty normal for the area when the swell windows don’t open up. Forecasts can turn around though, so don’t write it off completely.
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.
