The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the Gower.
First off, the next week or so is a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some swell coming through, but the wind is going to be a pain for much of it. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The best bet in the whole 16-day window looks like Monday morning, the 7th of September. Langland Bay is going to see a clean 5ft swell from the west, with a moderate offshore wind from the north-northwest. That’s your classic clean, groomed surface. The combined swell energy is a solid 356, which is a good, punchy amount of power. It’s a fairly consistent break, so you can expect plenty of waves, but it can get crowded here, so get your dawn patrol in.
Before that, things are pretty average. The first real surfable window pops up on Monday morning, the 31st of August. There’s a 7ft swell from the west, with a light cross-offshore wind giving clean conditions. The wave energy is strong at 690, but the forecast is a bit marginal, so don’t expect perfection. It’s still your best option for that weekend.
The other standout is Saturday morning, the 5th of September. After a pretty poor run of weather, the wind finally swings to a light cross-offshore from the west-northwest, cleaning up a 6ft west-southwest groundswell. The energy is well up there at 463, and it’s looking good. The swell period is 8 seconds, which is solid enough for a beach break like this to offer some decent shape.
For the rest of the time, it’s mostly onshore, choppy, or just too small and weak. The period from the 1st to the 4th of September is a write-off with strong, lumpy cross-onshore winds. The 12th and 13th of September offer tiny, weak swell with clean conditions, but it’s really just a longboard or foiling kind of wave.
So, to sum it up: if you’re keen, hit the 7ft swell on Monday the 31st of August, or the 6ft swell on Saturday the 5th of September. But the one to really circle is Monday, the 7th of September for the cleanest, punchiest session.
Rusty.
