Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty.
I’ve gotta be straight with you: we’re looking at a pretty grim run for Oxwich Point over the next two and a half weeks. The forecast is showing no surf worth paddling out for, right through to Wednesday the 22nd of July. That’s a serious gap of almost no action.
We start this Friday, the 10th, with tiny 2ft swell out of the west, but the energy is weak, measuring just 42 (combined energy of all swells directed here). It’s just not enough to do anything on a sheltered reef. The water temp is sitting at a very unusual 67°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze while you’re floating around doing nothing.
Saturday the 11th brings even smaller waves, dropping to 1ft. There’s a moment on Saturday afternoon when the wind goes glassy, which is a major positive for clean conditions, but with swell that small, it’s just a flat, pretty lake. Not surfable.
The following days don’t get any better. Sunday the 12th sees the swell drop to a pathetic 0.3ft. By Monday the 13th, we get a bump in height to 4ft, but it’s a short-period windswell from the east at only 5 seconds, and the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph, making it choppy and lumpy. The energy is still weak at 84. Not worth the drive.
This pattern of tiny, wind-affected, or short-period junk continues all the way through to the end of the third week. On Wednesday the 22nd of July, we finally see a bit of a pulse: 5ft swell from the WSW with a period of 7 seconds, and the energy climbs to a moderate 183 (combined energy of all swells directed here). That’s the biggest energy reading of the whole outlook. The wind goes glassy by Wednesday afternoon. Even then, the wave comment says “poor surf conditions,” so I wouldn’t get your hopes up. It might be a little too big for beginners at 5ft, but not really clean enough for intermediates.
Through the 24th and 25th, the swell hangs around 3ft to 4ft, but the wind is often cross or onshore. There’s no standout session. The whole thing is a blank run, which is pretty normal for this area when the swell window is quiet.
Sorry, mates. No standouts here. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, leave the boards at home.

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.
