Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s call it like it is.
Honestly, for the next two weeks on the Gower, there’s just no surf to talk about. From now right through to the 19th of July, Oxwich Point is flat. Wave heights stay under 1 foot for almost every session, with most days reading 1 foot or less. The wave energy is weak across the board, the highest reading being 71 – still puny. Nothing’s going to break with any sort of power.
The first week’s a total dud. Saturday the 4th and Sunday the 5th have clean conditions with cross-off winds, but with swell at 1 to 2 feet and a short, weak period of 6 to 10 seconds, you’d be standing on the beach looking at a lake. Water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing special.
Wednesday the 8th morning turns glassy with a light wind from the southwest at 3 mph, but the swell is just 1 foot with an 8-second period and an energy reading of 13. You’d be bored. Thursday the 9th has a brief moment of offshore wind from the east-southeast at 6 mph, but again, it’s 1 foot of swell at 9 seconds – not enough to break.
Heading into the second week, from the 10th onward, the wind gets messy. Friday the 10th sees strong cross-onshore winds up to 19 mph from the east, making it choppy and lumpy. Not worth paddling out. Saturday the 11th stays choppy with cross-shore winds. Swell stays tiny.
There is one weird moment on Monday the 13th. A very long period groundswell of 19 seconds shows up from the southwest, but the height is only 0.3 feet. The energy is still weak (35). That period is huge for such a tiny wave – at a sheltered reef like Oxwich Point, it’ll be a barely-there bump, not a wave.
After that, through to the 19th, it’s the same story: small, weak, and mostly clean but empty. The 17th has a fresh offshore wind from the north-northwest at 22 mph, but it’s still only 1 foot of swell. That setup looks more interesting for kiteboarding than paddling.
Bottom line: there are zero standout days. This is a flat spell for the Gower, and these stretches happen. Keep the board in the car and keep an eye on the charts for something better down the line.
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.
Oxwich Point is 16 km (10 miles) from Swansea. If you plan a holiday in Wales - Gower, look for hotels and other accommodation in Swansea. Swansea has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
