Oxwich Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, I gotta be straight with you—it's gonna be a tough watch. There's no real stand-out, top-shelf surf in the window, and most of the time you'll be fighting wind or just starvin' for a decent wave. Let's walk through it.

We kick off Monday the 14th and it's a no-go. Onshore cross-slop from a moderate breeze and a weak, short-period swell means it's just messy. The water temp is sittin' at 65°F, which is a full 5° warmer than normal for this time of year—pretty unusual, feels like a warm bath out there, but not much else goin' for it. That trend of poor conditions and cross-off or cross winds sticks with us through the week. Tuesday the 15th sees the swell bump up to 6 ft, but it's a weak, 7-second wind swell and a fresh breeze makes it look ugly. Wednesday the 16th is the closest we get to a window: a moderate offshore wind with a 5 ft swell from the W, period up to 10 seconds, and wave energy at 369 (moderate). The surf is "surfable" but very ordinary. Thursday the 17th is back to fresh offshore winds and a similar 5 ft swell, but again, that short 7-second period kills any real shape. The whole first week is a grind, with the same story of onshore or cross-off winds and weak energy.

We hit a real flat patch from the 21st. The swell drops right off—down to 2 ft or less—and we're lookin' at days of glassy but tiny, almost non-existent surf. There's a brief flicker on the 22nd with a 12-second period, but the swell is only 2 ft and the energy is just 99 (weak), so it's not worth paddlin' out for. The end of the month, from the 28th, brings a fresh onshore blow from the east with swell around 4-5 ft, but the period drops to a terrible 5 seconds and it's lumpy and choppy. The energy picks up a bit to 136 (weak), but the quality just isn't there.

There's not a single day I'd point you to and say, "That's the one." The best of a bad bunch is probably Wednesday the 16th, with that offshore wind and a little more period, but even then, it's ordinary. I'm callin' it how I see it—a real quiet spell, and for an area like this, that's not unusual. Stay tuned, forecasts change. But for now, save your energy.

Rusty.
