The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at what we’ve got for the next two weeks or so. To be straight with you, it’s going to be a long wait for any real action. For the first ten days, from now through the 6th of August, the surf is just not happening – it’s all tiny, weak, and messy. That’s a big gap with nothing on offer.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the afternoon of Friday the 7th of August. That’s when we finally see a bump of swell from the WSW, pushing about 6 ft. The combined energy is moderate (316), and while the comment says it’s not ideal, it’s the first time we’re in the game. The wind is a cross-off from the WSW, which is good for the wave face, but the period is short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit on the weak side.
The morning of Saturday the 9th of August is a tough call. The swell drops to 3 ft, but the wind is more crossy from the SSW, which will put some chop on the surface. It’s surfable, but not pretty.
The standout, and I mean the only true standout worth getting excited about, is the morning of Monday the 11th of August. The swell is 4 ft from the WSW, but look at that wind – a strong offshore from the NNW blowing at 25 mph. That’s going to groom the place into perfection. The combined energy is moderate (110), and the period is short, but with that wind, it’ll be clean, lined up, and properly hollow. The only catch is that strong breeze will make paddling out a real fight, but for the experts, the waves in the lineup will be well worth the battle. It’s going to be a session where you earn every wave.
Oxwich Point is a reef break, and it’s fairly consistent, but the crowds are a possibility here. With the wind that good, expect a few others to have the same idea.
Rusty.

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 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.
