The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Oxwich Point over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough start. For the first ten days or so, we’re looking at a real flat spell. The swell energy is weak, mostly under 100 (7) for the first few days, and even when it bumps up a bit, the conditions are just poor. Sunday the 26th shows a bit of a pulse with a 5ft swell from the west and a fresh offshore wind, but the period is a short 7 seconds, and the energy is only moderate (181). That’s a windswell, not a proper groundswell, and it’s just not lining up. After that, it drops right back down again. We’re talking a solid week of nothing worth paddling out for.
Now, hold on to your board, because Wednesday the 5th of August is the one we’ve been waiting for. This is a proper standout. We’ve got a solid 10ft groundswell from the west-southwest, with a 9-second period. The combined energy is a massive 1294 – that’s strong. The morning is glassy, zero wind, and the afternoon stays clean with a gentle cross-off breeze. This is big, powerful surf. At 10ft, this is for experienced surfers only – it’s too big for beginners. The swell direction (WSW) is right in the sweet spot for the optimum SW direction at this reef, so it should wrap in nicely. Expect a good crowd here, as it’s a quality wave that’s fairly consistent, and with a set-up like this, everyone will be keen.
After that buzz, the swell backs off quickly. Thursday the 6th drops to 4ft, and by the end of the week we’re back to small, clean waves but nothing that’s going to get the heart racing.
So, the call is plain and simple: you sit tight, work on your pop-up, and wait for Wednesday the 5th of August. That’s the day at Oxwich Point. Don’t waste your energy on the rest.
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. 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.
