Table - best surf conditions forecast for Oxwich Point over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days look pretty grim for a proper paddle. We’ve got a few flickers, but nothing that’s going to get your heart really racing.
The main spot we’re looking at is Oxwich Point, a sheltered reef break that’s pretty consistent for intermediates. Right now, the water is sitting at 68°, which is a whopping 9° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, and honestly, a bit eerie.
For the first week and a half, it’s a tough watch. Monday the 13th kicks off with a weak 3ft from the east, but a cross-onshore breeze at 16 mph makes it choppy and messy. The combined energy is a measly 52 (weak), so there’s just no push. The rest of that week into the next is tiny, with waves barely reaching 1ft, plagued by onshore or cross-onshore winds. Even when we get a few clean spells with offshore or glassy conditions on the 17th, the swell is just too small to do anything with. You’ll be floating around waiting for a ripple.
The first real standout, but it’s a late one, shows up on Friday the 24th. The afternoon brings a sudden jump in size to 5ft from the WSW. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit fat and jumbled, but the combined energy jumps to a moderate 173. The wind is a cross-offshore breeze at 13 mph, so it’ll be clean. This is the best wave of the whole run, but it’s a one-off and it’s a long way off. The Saturday the 25th afternoon offers a tiny 2ft swell with glassy conditions, but it’s small and weak, with low energy (57). The next hopeful sign is over a week later on Monday the 27th evening, but the swell is practically non-existent.
Honestly, for the majority of this 16-day window, the surf is just flat or blown out. The only real shot is that Friday the 24th afternoon. If you’re desperate, you’ll be there. Otherwise, keep the board in the bag.
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.
