The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: the forecast is pretty grim. We're looking at a long stretch of flat to tiny surf with hardly any power. The first decent ripple doesn't show up until later in the second week. For the first week and a half or so, you're mostly looking at knee-high slop or less, with combined swell energy readings barely in the double digits (39 is the highest early on), which is basically nothing. The water temperature is sitting at 69°F, which is a whopping 9°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that's a seriously unusual warm spell.
Things start to get a little more interesting around the 26th of July. We get a jump in size, but it's a messy mix. The wind is going to be pretty awful for our break, Oxwich Point (Gower), as a cross-onshore ESE breeze will chop up the 5ft swell. The combined energy climbs to 365, which is a solid kick, but with a short period of 7 seconds and that wind, it's not going to be pretty. Honestly, with that much wind and a beach-and-reef setup, it might look more interesting for the kite surfers than us paddle guys.
The 27th of July, Monday afternoon, could be the pick of the very slim bunch. The wind goes glassy, calm as can be, and the swell hangs around 5ft from the WSW. The combined energy is still strong at 287. The problem is the period is only 9 seconds, so it won't be the most lined-up, but glassy conditions at Oxwich Point can make a mess look okay. You'll be sharing it with the locals, as crowds are sometimes a factor here.
Later in the week, the 29th of July morning sees a gentle offshore wind from the WNW, but the swell drops right back down to 1ft, so it's more of a longboard glide than a serious session.
Honestly, the standout here is that afternoon on the 27th of July. It's the only time the stars almost align for a clean wave. The rest of the window is a write-off unless you're desperate for a paddle. Forecasts can change, but this one's looking pretty stubborn.
Rusty.

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 Oxwich Point 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.
