The Lowdown
Alright, gather 'round. Rusty here, with a proper look at the local bank – Oxwich Point.
Right off the bat, I gotta level with you. The next week or so is looking pretty average. We've got a bit of swell running, but the wind and the window are not playing ball. For the first few days, from Saturday the 29th right through the end of the month, it’s a wash-out. We're seeing rain, thunderstorms, and wind from the wrong directions kicking up chop. You'd be fighting a losing battle out there, so save your energy.
Now, the first real spark of hope comes on Monday the 31st of August. The morning session kicks off with a 7ft swell out of the WSW, and a fresh offshore breeze from the WNW. That means clean faces, a bit of power. The combined energy is up there at (773). It’s a solid option for an intermediate or better. It's a bit of a beast though, so beginners might want to sit this one out. By the afternoon it backs off a touch to 6ft, but it still has that clean look. It's a proper Monday morning reward after a bleak weekend.
Things go flat again through the start of September, but then we get a solid weekend look-in. Saturday the 5th of September is the standout of the whole run. Morning brings a 7ft WSW swell with a light WNW breeze. It's glassy, it's clean, and the energy is pumping at (522). It's still very manageable for a strong intermediate, but anything over 7ft means the beginners will be watching from the sand. The afternoon holds up at 6ft with a gentle breeze. This is where you want to be.
After that, the window closes again. Sunday the 6th gets a bit choppy, and we see strong winds coming back. The following week, from the 7th to the 13th of September, the swell drops right back, with most days offering only marginal, small waves and a lot of wind. There’s a little bump in the windswell around the 11th, but it’s accompanied by a strong breeze. It’s not a no-go, but it’s not a guarantee. The month ends with a tiny, glassy morning on the 9th, but there’s just not enough swell to make it worthwhile.
To sum it up: your best bet is to circle Monday the 31st of August as a promising dirty-water session, and definitely lock in Saturday the 5th of September for the cleanest, most powerful surf on offer. The rest is a waiting game.
Rusty.
