The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, I gotta be straight with you—it's gonna be a tough watch. There's no real stand-out, top-shelf surf in the window, and most of the time you'll be fighting wind or just starvin' for a decent wave. Let's walk through it.
We kick off Monday the 14th and it's a no-go. Onshore cross-slop from a moderate breeze and a weak, short-period swell means it's just messy. The water temp is sittin' at 65°F, which is a full 5° warmer than normal for this time of year—pretty unusual, feels like a warm bath out there, but not much else goin' for it. That trend of poor conditions and cross-off or cross winds sticks with us through the week. Tuesday the 15th sees the swell bump up to 6 ft, but it's a weak, 7-second wind swell and a fresh breeze makes it look ugly. Wednesday the 16th is the closest we get to a window: a moderate offshore wind with a 5 ft swell from the W, period up to 10 seconds, and wave energy at 369 (moderate). The surf is "surfable" but very ordinary. Thursday the 17th is back to fresh offshore winds and a similar 5 ft swell, but again, that short 7-second period kills any real shape. The whole first week is a grind, with the same story of onshore or cross-off winds and weak energy.
We hit a real flat patch from the 21st. The swell drops right off—down to 2 ft or less—and we're lookin' at days of glassy but tiny, almost non-existent surf. There's a brief flicker on the 22nd with a 12-second period, but the swell is only 2 ft and the energy is just 99 (weak), so it's not worth paddlin' out for. The end of the month, from the 28th, brings a fresh onshore blow from the east with swell around 4-5 ft, but the period drops to a terrible 5 seconds and it's lumpy and choppy. The energy picks up a bit to 136 (weak), but the quality just isn't there.
There's not a single day I'd point you to and say, "That's the one." The best of a bad bunch is probably Wednesday the 16th, with that offshore wind and a little more period, but even then, it's ordinary. I'm callin' it how I see it—a real quiet spell, and for an area like this, that's not unusual. Stay tuned, forecasts change. But for now, save your energy.
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.
