The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what's on the cards for Oxwich Point over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, looking at the entire 16-day window, it’s a flat spell. There’s no real surf to get excited about. The swell is tiny, barely a push, and the energy just isn't there. We're looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions with no standout days. From the very start on Friday, July 31st, right through to Saturday, August 15th, it’s a consistent run of nothing. There are no gaps with recommendations because there are no recommendations to give.
The first morning on Friday, July 31st, shows a tiny 2ft swell from the west, but the period is a short 5 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 13. It’s clean with a gentle offshore breeze, but there’s just not enough to ride. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual to report.
Through the weekend and into the next week, it’s a similar story. You’ll see small pulses of 2ft to 3ft swell, mostly from the WSW, but the period is short and the energy never gets above 68. We get some glassy mornings, like on Sunday, August 2nd, and Tuesday, August 4th, which would be beautiful if there was any swell. Even when the wind goes offshore on Thursday, August 13th, the swell is a meagre 1.0ft. It’s just not happening.
For a spot like Oxwich Point, a reef break that’s fairly consistent, this is a proper lull. The setup is too small for paddle surfing; honestly, with the onshore winds we see on a few days, it might look more interesting for a kite. But for us surfers, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, the board stays in the car.
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.
