The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here giving you the lowdown in feet and miles. It’s a grim picture for the Gower — a long dry spell with hardly any surf to speak of.
First thing, the water temperature at Oxwich Point is a balmy 69°F, which is a massive 9°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual.
Now for the waves, or lack of ‘em. From Wednesday 22nd July through to Saturday 26th July, it’s flat. We’re talking ankle-snappers, swell heights of 0.3ft to 0.7ft, and weak energy readings (7 to 14). The wind is often offshore or glassy in the mornings, but it doesn’t matter because there’s nothing to ride.
The first real bump arrives on Sunday 26th July morning. A 4ft west swell, but with a short 7-second period, so it’ll be a bit messy. Combined energy hits 138 (moderate). The wind is offshore from the NW, so it’ll look clean, but the quality is still poor.
Monday 27th July morning drops to 3ft west swell with a weak 6-second period and energy of 49. Still clean with NW offshore wind, but small.
The only other chance is Thursday 6th August morning. Another 4ft west swell, again only a 6-second period, with energy at 139 (moderate). Wind is cross-offshore from the WSW, so it’ll be clean. It’s the best we’ve got, but that’s not saying much.
There’s no standout day in this 16-day window. The swell is too small or too short-period for most of it. If you’re itching to get wet, the Sunday 26th July morning or Thursday 6th August morning are your only real options. Otherwise, keep the board in the shed.
Rusty.

Information about the Oxwich Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Oxwich Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Oxwich Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Oxwich Point surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Oxwich Point) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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. 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.
