The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening for the Gower. Looking at this whole 16-day stretch, it’s a tough one for Oxwich Point. There’s a big dead zone to start, and the only real chance we get is a one-day spike of size and energy, but even that’s got its problems. You’re looking at about a week of nada before anything even worth mentioning.
The first real pulse comes in on Monday, September 7th. The swell builds to 6 ft from the WSW with a 13-second period, and the combined energy clocks in at a solid 1565 (moderate). That’s a proper groundswell. The wind is cross-offshore out of the W at 15 mph, so the faces will be clean. This is your best chance across the whole forecast, but it’s not a slam dunk. The wave comment calls it "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions," so you’ll need to be on the ball with the tide. By the afternoon, the swell hits 7 ft, but the wind kicks up to 19 mph, making it a bit of a beast. Anything over 5 ft on this reef starts to get gnarly for beginners, and over 8 ft is expert-only. We’re close, so this one’s for the confident intermediate crew.
After that, it’s a long, slow slide. Tuesday the 8th has overhead swell at 7 ft, but it’s a short-period 7 seconds with a stiff 19 mph cross-offshore wind, making for poor, weak waves. The energy drops to 420 (weak). Wednesday and Thursday the 9th and 10th see smaller swell and still strong winds, keeping the quality poor. The only other flicker of hope is Friday, September 11th. The morning shows a 5 ft, 9-second swell from the W with a clean offshore wind from the NW at 15 mph. The wave comment is still "marginal," but it’s a cleaner look with 581 (moderate energy). Worth a look if you’re jonesing, but it’s not the standout.
From the 12th of September onward, it’s all over. The wind swings onshore from the east, the swell drops below 3 ft, and the energy falls into the double digits. Nothing but poor conditions for the rest of the run. Even the glassy, flat days on the 15th with 1 ft are just a tease. The long-range stuff into the 20th is a total washout. If you’ve got a kite, those windy days in the second week might be more fun than a surfboard.
Rusty.

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.
