Alright, let’s talk it through in feet and miles per hour. It’s a grim outlook, I won’t sugarcoat it.
We’re looking at a solid sixteen-day period where the surf is basically dead. Starting Saturday the 4th and Sunday the 5th, it’s a mess. The wind is blowing onshore at 12 to 19 mph, and the swell is nothing to write home about – maybe 2 to 2 feet. The combined wave energy is weak, topping out at just over 100 on a couple of afternoons, but the “poor surf conditions” label says it all. There’s a huge gap at the start with no decent waves at all. You’re looking at at least an entire week before anything even looks possible.
Mid-week, like Wednesday the 8th, we get a glassy morning with a slight air. But the swell is a pathetic 1 foot. You might as well be looking at a lake. The combined energy is only 15.
The best the forecast can offer is a few days around Friday the 10th to Saturday the 11th, when we get a moderate offshore breeze from the east at around 16 mph. The surf is still tiny – just 1 foot – but it’s clean. The combined swell energy sits around 17 to 18. It’s surfable for a micro-grom on a soft top, but no one’s getting a proper ride.
The only other small window is right at the end, on Sunday the 19th. A light cross-off breeze from the southeast gives us clean conditions, but again, the swell is a measly 0.7 feet. It’s been a long, long wait for that.
Look, sometimes you get runs like this. The ocean just shuts off. Most of these days are inconsistent or simply flat. Don’t hold your breath. Leave the board in the bag for now.

A general guide to surfing at Ogmore-by-Sea 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 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.
