The Lowdown
Rusty here again, same story in feet for the crew who think that way. Ogmore-by-Sea is a river mouth, sheltered, and it don’t break all that often. This 16-day window is a flat spell with a few flickers of life that never really light up. The water temp is nothing special for early September.
We start Sunday 6th September with next to nothing: 1ft from the WSW, 6-second period, weak energy (21). Not worth wetting a wetsuit. That pattern hangs on – tiny, short-period swell and messy winds. Monday 7th September morning brings the biggest energy we’ll see: 4ft from the WSW with a 14-second groundswell and strong wave energy (633). But the wind is cross-on from the NW, making it choppy. That’s the most power of the whole outlook, and it’s ruined.
Tuesday 8th keeps swell around 5ft, but periods drop to 7-8 seconds, and it’s still cross-onshore and lumpy (energy 339, 258). Then it fades: smaller, weaker, more onshore. The only day that cracks a “surfable” label is Wednesday 16th September morning. We got 3ft from the WSW, 7-second period, energy of 82, and a cross-off breeze from the ESE. The report calls it “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – a 1 out of 10. That’s your standout, if you can call it that. After that, it’s back to tiny slop and onshore winds. This is a tough run at a spot that rarely delivers, and this time it really doesn’t.
Rusty.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Ogmore-by-Sea 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.
