The Lowdown
Text 2 (Imperial)
Alright, crew, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about the next 16 days at Oxwich Point. It’s going to be a real test of patience. We’re looking at a long stretch where the surf just isn't showing up to the party. There’s no sugar-coating it; this is one of those blank-run situations for the area.
The window kicks off with a rough start and a 3° anomaly in a much-warmer-than-normal sea on Wednesday the 9th. The swell is tiny, maybe 4ft from the west with a short 8-second period, but the wind is howling and the whole thing is just a mess. The combined energy is weak (190), and it's not worth paddling out.
We roll into Thursday the 10th with a soggy, bumpy mix. The swell is all over the place, a jumbled 6ft from the southwest with a 6-second period, which is pretty much pure wind-chop. That’s 295 in the energy bank, but it's all noise. Then Friday the 11th is the real tease. We get that clean 5ft from the west-southwest with a 9-second period and offshore winds, a combined energy of 314. It's surfable, but honestly, it’s just ordinary. A wave here and there, but nothing to write home about. That’s your best bet for the first week and it’s not saying much.
The weekend is a washout. Saturday the 12th has a strong 7ft spike, but it's crossed up with onshore winds and rain. The energy gets up there (342), but it's too lumpy and messy for a reef. Sunday the 13th drops back to 4ft but it lacks any punch.
From Monday the 14th through the 19th, we’re on a downward slide. The swell just fades, dropping from 2ft down to a pathetic 0.3ft by Saturday the 19th. There's a hint of quality wind here and there with the offshore flows and a glassy day on Sunday the 20th, but with barely a ripple on the reef, it's just not enough. The combined energy drops into the double digits and even single digits. It’s flat out, no two ways about it.
The second week from the 15th on is a total dead zone. A few 2ft pulses from a long 11-second period arrive on Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd, with clean wind and a combined energy around 60, but it’s not going to break on this sheltered shelf. It’s looking like a dry spell into the 24th.
So there you have it. No standouts, no hidden gems. The first week at least has a couple of waves to keep the hope alive, but for now, the board stays in the car. Keep an eye on the charts, because this blank run won't last forever.
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.
