The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s chew through this forecast. It’s a rough one for the next couple of weeks. A whole lot of nothing with a tiny window of hope.
The water’s sitting at about 66°, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year – a real surprise.
The first real chance to get wet doesn’t come until Sunday the 13th at Oxwich Point. You’re looking at a 5ft swell from the WSW with a 10-second period. It’s clean with a light breeze, but the surf quality is just marginal. The energy is moderate (630), but it’s a “questionable tide” situation. Monday and Tuesday are clean too, but the swell is small and weak.
Then, Wednesday the 16th of September is your day. First thing in the morning, Oxwich Point gets a 5ft swell from the W with a moderate offshore wind from the WNW. The wave energy is strong (620), and the call is for “good surf conditions.” That’s the ticket. The offshore wind will keep the surface clean, and the size is solid for the intermediate crowd. This reef break breaks fairly consistently, but expect a crowd sometimes. At 5ft, it’s too much for beginners. If you’ve got the skill, this is the session to aim for. The afternoon drops off in size.
That’s it. That’s the whole show. From the 17th of September all the way to the 27th, it’s a ghost town. We’re talking ankle-biters – 0.7ft to 1ft with combined energy in the single digits and teens. We get a few glassy mornings on the 21st and 23rd, but there’s no swell to ride. The offshore winds come back late in the month, but it’s chasing a 0.7ft wave from the east with a period of 4 seconds. Not worth the wetsuit.
Bottom line: the only standout in this whole 16-day forecast is the Wednesday morning (16th September) at Oxwich Point. Everything else is a flat spell. Get that one session in.
Rusty.
