The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
The next 16 days are a real mixed bag for Oxwich Point. We’ve got some pulses of energy, but the quality is often let down by the wind, leaving a lot of frustrating sessions. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
Right now, into Tuesday morning, we’ve got a small 3 ft swell from the WSW with a 9-second period, and a moderate cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is weak (137), and the surf is poor. Not worth getting wet.
Tuesday afternoon drops off to a tiny 0.3 ft with a long 18-second period – that’s classic groundswell, but there’s no size to it. A total non-starter. Wednesday and Thursday are more of the same: messy, onshore winds or big cross-shore breezes with short-period, lumpy swell. The energy picks up Wednesday afternoon to a moderate 383 (combined energy), but the 7-second period and fresh cross-shore wind make it a total chop-fest. Not for paddling.
Friday the 4th morning has a 5 ft swell from the WSW, but the wind is a moderate cross-off. It’s clean, but with a short 8-second period and a combined energy of 303, it’s all push and no shape. You’d be fighting it.
The weekend of the 5th and 6th is tiny. Saturday morning is a clean 3 ft with a light offshore, but it’s weak (65 combined energy). Sunday is a total write-off with onshore winds and even smaller waves.
Then we hit a bit of a lull on Monday the 7th. A 3 ft WSW groundswell with a 12-second period gives us a moderate 280 combined energy, and the wind is light. It’s the first hint of anything decent, but it’s still marginal.
The standout window arrives on Friday the 11th of September. The morning is looking a bit marginal with rain and a small SSE wind, but the afternoon is the real deal. We get a clean 7 ft swell from the WSW, with an 8-second period and a light cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is strong (592). This is the best of the whole forecast. The size is solid for intermediates, and the conditions are clean. This is the one to circle.
Saturday the 12th morning is a glassy 4 ft, but the energy is lower (207) and the period is short. It’ll be a fun, clean session for a log, but nothing like the day before.
The second week fades out. A few pulses of 3 ft swell with long periods (12 seconds) on the 15th give us some clean, lined-up waves, but the energy is moderate (267) and it’s just not the same quality as that Friday.
Bottom line: The first week is a lot of waiting for clean windows. The second week looks promising for a couple of days, but is less certain. If you’ve got one day to paddle, make it Friday the 11th afternoon.
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.

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.
