Right then, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the Gower for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m struggling to find the words. It’s a grim outlook for Oxwich Point. Through the entire 16-day window, the wave energy is a joke. We’re looking at combined swell energy readings that are mostly teeny two-digit numbers (20s, 30s, 40s), with a couple of days reaching 90, but that’s still weak, weak, weak. The water is a staggering 9°F warmer than usual, which is very unusual, but it won’t help the surf.
The first real chance of anything rideable is on Thursday, July 10th, with a tiny 2ft swell from the west on a 9-second period. The wind is onshore in the morning, but a light cross-offshore in the afternoon might clean it up. It’s going to be a grovel.
The weekend isn't much better. Saturday the 11th has a 1.0ft WSW swell and glassy conditions in the afternoon, which is nice and clean, but you’ll be hunting for a ripple. Sunday the 12th through to Tuesday the 15th sees a bit more size, with the swell pushing to 3ft and 4ft, but it’s all from the east with a horrible, short 4 or 5-second period. The wind is a cross-onshore mess, making it lumpy and choppy. Not a good look for a sheltered reef.
The second week, from the 16th onwards, is more of the same: tiny waves, with the best being a 2ft west swell on the 19th with a clean offshore wind, but the energy is still minimal (38). The only standout for the whole period is the afternoon of Saturday, July 19th, where we get a 2ft swell from the west with a clean, moderate offshore wind from the NNW. It’s not going to be big, but it’ll be the most lined-up and cleanest wave of the entire forecast. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a real dry spell.
But honestly, for the most part, the combination of tiny swell and poor wind direction makes this look more like a kiteboarding stretch than a paddle-surfing one. The forecast can change, but right now, it’s a tough one.
Rusty.

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.
