The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a proper look at what's on the menu for Abereiddy over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’ve got to be straight with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a run of small, weak swell and poor conditions that just doesn't let up. The water is sitting at 62°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
The first week and a half is a write-off, no two ways about it. From Sunday the 2nd right through to Friday the 14th, we’ve got a persistent run of "poor surf conditions." The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is rarely on our side. There’s a bit of a bump in energy mid-week, like Wednesday the 5th morning, with a 5ft swell from the SW, but it’s clocking in at only 8 seconds and the wind is a fresh cross-onshore, making it lumpy and pretty ugly. The combined energy at that point is only 287 (moderate), but the quality just isn’t there. For the most part, the energy is well under 100, which is weak.
Now, after a long, bleak stretch, we finally get a glimmer on Friday the 14th. The morning session shows a 5ft swell from the WSW (6 seconds) with a glassy, light wind from the ENE. The combined energy jumps to 240 (moderate). The guidance says this spot is a beginner-friendly break that’s fairly consistent, so it’s not a total shock that it might offer something. The swell direction is right on the money for the optimum WSW. This is your best option in the whole outlook, but even then, the wave comment just says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It’s a far cry from epic. The short period means the waves will be a bit fat and weak.
Saturday the 15th morning has a similar 4ft swell from the WSW, but the wind is a light cross-shore, so it’s not as clean as the glassy Friday. After that, it’s back to small, weak, and choppy for the rest of the run.
So, to sum it up: we’ve got a massive gap of poor surf until Friday the 14th. If you absolutely need to get wet, that Friday morning is your only real chance. It’s a small, weak window, but it’s the only one that’s even close to rideable. Don’t hold your breath for the rest of it.
Rusty.

Information about the Abereiddy Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Abereiddy provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Abereiddy 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 Abereiddy 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.
