The Lowdown
Alright, lads, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Oxwich Point. Gotta be honest, it’s looking like a slow spell for this sheltered little reef.
The water’s a balmy 68°, which is about 7° warmer than average – that’s a real anomaly and feels weirdly tropical for here.
First week’s a struggle. Monday the 10th kicks off with a weak 2ft from the WSW, period a short 6 seconds, energy is weak (35) and the wind is cross-off. Doesn’t get much better through Tuesday and Wednesday with onshore winds and nearly nothing on offer. Thursday the 13th sees a bump to 3ft from the WSW, energy gets a bit better (155 to 163), but it’s still not great. Friday the 14th morning gives us a clean look with an offshore breeze from the NW and a 3ft swell from the W, but the energy is only moderate (103). Saturday the 15th keeps the offshore wind, but the waves are tiny, 3ft dropping to 2ft, and energy is weak again (73 then 46). Just not enough water.
From Sunday the 16th all the way through to Wednesday the 20th, it’s a proper flat spell. Swells drop to 1ft or less. There’s a glassy calm moment on the afternoon of the 19th, but with a 0.3ft swell, there’s nothing to surf.
Then, looking way out, Tuesday the 25th shows a little pulse. 3ft swell from the WSW with a 9-second period. The energy jumps to a solid moderate (139) with clean cross-off winds. That’s the only real standout in the whole 16 days. The afternoon’s similar at 3ft (119 energy), but the wind goes a bit more cross-shore. It’s a long-range hope, but it’s our best shot.
Oxwich Point needs a decent push to work, and for most of this forecast, it’s a quiet one. Keep an eye on the 25th.
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.
