The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it.
First up, we’ve got Oxwich Point on the Gower. A sheltered reef setup, needs the right direction to work, and for the next few days it’s pretty quiet. Sunday the 6th is a non-starter – small, weak swell and onshore wind, poor conditions. Not worth paddling out.
Monday the 7th is where things finally wake up. The morning is the real standout. A clean 3ft swell rolling in from the WSW, but the period is a juicy 14 seconds – proper groundswell, real energy. Combined swell energy is a strong 1352, so there’s plenty of grunt. With a light offshore from the WNW, Oxwich Point should be clean and well-shaped. This is the best on offer. Crowds are possible, but for a Monday morning, you might get it quiet.
That afternoon the wind swings into the WSW and picks up, making it a cross-off breeze. Still rideable, but not as good as the morning.
Tuesday the 8th sees the swell bump up to 7ft in the morning, but the period drops to a short 8 seconds and the wind is a cross-off 18 mph. The surf will be lumpy and raw. This one’s really only for experienced surfers, and even then, it’s not going to be pretty.
Wednesday the 9th brings another morning of offshore wind, but the swell is dropping fast and the period is short. Weak energy (276). Not much to get excited about.
From Thursday the 10th right through to Saturday the 19th, it’s mostly poor. There’s a mix of cross-shore winds, short periods, and weak energy. A few sessions pop up with clean conditions, like the glassy Saturday afternoon on the 19th with a 3ft swell and glassy conditions, but the energy is only 182 – small and weak. It’s more of a cruise than a proper session.
Then on Sunday the 20th, the swell bumps up again to 6ft, but it’s coming from the ESE, cross-onshore, choppy. Not your friend.
Monday the 21st is back to small, weak, and cross-onshore. The long-range outlook is poor. No other standouts in the 16-day window. The water temperature is running much warmer than normal for early September, sitting around 67° – that’s over 5° warmer than usual for the time of year, which is very unusual.
So, if you’ve got a window, get out Monday morning the 7th at Oxwich Point. That’s your wave. After that, it’s a long wait.

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.
