The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Oxwich Point has on offer. Honestly, for the first week or so, it’s a real mixed bag, and you'll be working hard for anything decent.
We start off on Sunday the 30th of August with a stormy vibe, a cross-shore wind messing things up, and swell energy around 267 to 362 (moderate). It's not looking great. That pattern sticks around for days, with Monday the 31st of August being the first time we see a proper offshore wind, but the surf is still just marginal. You'll be scratching your head with the conditions right through to Thursday the 4th of September, when we get a big pulse of energy hitting 1272 (strong) with a clean offshore angle, but the waves are blowing out with a strong breeze. Friday the 5th of September sees a drop in size, but the wind is offshore and cleaner. Still, none of these days are giving us anything to really get excited about.
The real saving grace, the standout window, looks to be Friday the 11th of September and into the weekend. After nearly a week of chasing poor conditions, the weather finally plays ball. Friday morning shows a solid 7ft groundswell from the WSW, wrapping in with a moderate offshore breeze from the NW. Combined energy is a punchy 724, and the forecast says "expect good surf conditions." That’s the one. The afternoon holds similar energy at 690. This is a proper reef break, so that longer-period swell will set up nicely, giving you clean walls. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so a standard 3/2 will be fine.
Then look at Saturday the 12th of September – later in the day we get a glassy, near-calm wind. The swell drops a touch to 7ft from the WSW, but with that glassy surface and 699 energy, it’s going to be a treat. Just bear in mind that this spot is "fairly consistent," not always pumping, and "sometimes" gets crowded, so with conditions this good, you might have company.
After that, the pattern gets messy again into the following week, so Friday and Saturday are your best bets. Don't sleep on it.
