The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Oxwich Point.
The start is rough. Wednesday and Thursday have some swell, but the wind is either side-onshore or fresh cross, leaving the water lumpy and ugly. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.
Friday morning the 4th of September shows some promise: a moderate offshore breeze out of the WNW, and a clean 6ft swell from the WSW, though the period is a short 8 seconds. Wave energy is moderate at 406. The score is marginal, so it’s not a sure thing. Afternoon stays clean but the wind turns cross-off.
Saturday the 5th of September morning has a light offshore breeze and a clean 3ft swell. It’s weak—energy only 107. Nothing special.
The real standout is Monday morning the 7th of September. A moderate offshore wind from the WNW, 4ft swell from the WSW, and a very long 13-second period—that’s real groundswell. Combined energy is a solid 458. At a reef break like Oxwich Point, those long-period waves should shape up nicely, though expect longer waits between sets. The spot is fairly consistent, and crowds can pop up sometimes. This is the best session in the whole outlook.
After that, the surf fades fast. The second week is mostly tiny and weak, with combined energy dropping to single digits and teens by the 12th and 13th. Sunday the 13th has glassy conditions and a small 4ft swell, but the period is short and energy is only 141. Clean but not worth the drive.
Thursday the 17th of September shows a spike: 5ft swell from the WSW, 10-second period, light cross wind, and very strong wave energy at 813. But it’s labeled marginal—so treat that as a long-range maybe.
Bottom line: if you want clean, long-period waves, go for Monday morning the 7th of September. Most other days are small, weak, or windswept.
Rusty.
