Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta call it like I see it. This 16-day stretch for the Gower is flat as a pancake. From Friday the 3rd of July all the way to Saturday the 18th of July, there’s not one surfable session – every entry reads “poor surf conditions.”
The wave energy’s weak-sauce. Even the best combined energy reading is 167 on the 3rd of July morning, but that’s with a 0.9ft, 10-second swell that’s all chopped up. The rest of the time it’s barely above 50, often down in the teens. The biggest swell we see is 1ft on the 4th of July afternoon, but the period’s only 10 seconds and the report calls it poor.
We get a moment on the 13th of July Monday morning with 0.6ft at 11 seconds and glassy wind – clean as a whistle – but it’s still labeled poor. That’s just how small it is. The swell direction is mostly W to WSW, which is the right direction for Oxwich Point, but there’s no size to back it up.
Wind’s often cross-off or offshore, which would be ideal if we had any juice, but we don’t. Water temp? No info given, so nothin’ to say there.
Bottom line: don’t waste the gas. For a spot that’s usually fairly consistent, this is a real dry spell. Could change, but right now it’s a total blank. Might be kiteable if the wind blows, but for a surfboard? Not a chance.
Keep your eyes on the charts, but for now, it’s a no-go. 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.
