The Lowdown
Listen up, I won't sugarcoat it: Oxwich Point is in a deep, flat slumber. For the full 16-day window, the surf is basically a no-show. The swell energy is just pitiful—mostly two-digit numbers that barely reach 90 at its peak, and that's not saying much.
Water temps are much warmer than average for the time of year, about 20°C. That’s the only exciting thing around here.
The first faint heartbeat comes on Thursday morning, the 30th of July. We're looking at a 2ft swell from the west, with a short period of 5 seconds and offshore wind from the north-northwest at around 9 mph. The combined energy is a lowly 34, so you're looking at weak, gutless waves. It'll be clean, but barely worth paddling out for.
Friday the 31st and Saturday the 1st of August are pure flatness—0.3ft to 2ft dribble with light offshore breezes. Combined energy between 3 and 38. It’s honestly more of a sunbathing session.
The second week offers no real salvation. The best of the worst is Saturday the 8th of August, with the combined energy creeping up to 91 and a 2ft swell from the west-southwest. The problem is the wind is onshore from the east at 12 mph, so it'll be choppy and messy on the point. No thanks.
The real standout? There isn't one. If you're dying for water time, the cleanest conditions will be those early mornings late July when the wind goes offshore. But the waves are non-existent. Honestly, kites and windfoils will have a better time here than surfers right now.
Save the stoke for another week.

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.
