The Lowdown
Alright, same story, different numbers for my friends across the pond. Here’s the imperial version.
What’s up, it’s Rusty.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we’re looking at a flat stretch for Oxwich Point that covers the full 16 days. Not a single session I’d recommend. From now until the 22nd of August, the surf is just not happening.
The biggest bump we see comes on the morning of the 21st of August – a 6ft swell out of the west. The combined energy is 362 – that’s moderate at best. But the wind is a cross-off at 12 mph, and the swell period is a short 8 seconds. It’ll be weak and slow. That afternoon, the wind goes cross-on, and it’ll be chopped up.
Before that, on the afternoon of the 20th of August, you get a 5ft west swell, with a 6-second period and a fresh 22 mph cross-off wind. Energy hits 209, but again, it’s just wind and chop. Nothing for a surfer.
The only other times the energy ticks over into the triple digits are the afternoon of the 13th of August (181) and the morning of the 14th (113), but those swells are only 3ft and 3ft. Not enough to ride.
Water temp is a balmy 69°F on the 7th of August – that’s 7°F warmer than normal, so the water’s nice, but it doesn’t make the waves.
Forget paddling out. With this kind of small, short-period swell and the wind patterns, you’d be better off on a kite board if you’ve got the wind. There are zero standouts. This is a pretty normal dry spell for this area. Might not stay poor forever though, keep an eye on it.
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.
