The Lowdown
Alright, let's take a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it is a tough run. We’ve got a solid window of energy coming through from the 15th up to about the 20th, but the wind is just absolutely wrecking it. Mostly cross-off or strong westerlies, and the conditions are being described as poor for surfing. There's a brief bit of hope on the morning of the 20th, but otherwise, it’s a frustrating stretch. After that, the swell drops right off, and there's a long, quiet period before a few small pulses of energy try to sneak in a week or so later.
The only real standout is Wednesday morning, the 16th, at Oxwich Point. We’ve got a 5ft swell rolling in from the west, period of 10 seconds and a moderate wave energy of (384). The real kicker here is the wind – a gentle offshore from the northwest at 9 mph. That’s the ticket for clean lines. It’s a reef break, fairly consistent, and suited to intermediate surfers. The water is sitting at 65°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, by about 5° – that's a notable anomaly, feels more like a late summer swim than an autumn one.
Outside of that Wednesday morning, on Thursday the 17th you get a bigger swell of 6ft, but with a short period of 7 seconds and a fresh cross-off wind, it’s just going to be lumpy. On the morning of Sunday the 20th, the wind goes glassy and the swell is just 3ft from the WSW with a period of 9 seconds and moderate energy of (129). It's clean, but it's small.
After the 20th, the surf really fades. There are scattered tiny waves – 2ft, 2ft – and most are accompanied by onshore or cross-onshore winds. The morning of Monday the 21st is dead flat with glassy conditions and zero swell energy (39). You see a little increase around the 24th and 27th, where a 2ft and 2ft swell shows up with period up to 11-13 seconds, and even a light offshore wind on the 24th, but it’s all very small and marginal. Nothing to get excited about.
Overall, the pick of the fortnight is that Wednesday morning session on the 16th. Everything else is either blown out or too small.
