Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer for this stretch of coast. To be honest, straight up, it’s a rough run. We’ve got a long stretch ahead with very little to get excited about.
Looking at Oxwich Point, the whole 16-day window is nothing but a flat spell. The first entry kicks off Sunday, July 5th, but don’t get your hopes up – we’re talking tiny, weak surf with a combined energy of just 74. That’s barely a ripple. Swell from the WSW at 3ft, but with a short period of 6 seconds, it’s got no push. Winds are cross-off, so it’s clean, but there’s just nothing to ride. The water temp is pretty average for this time of year.
From there, it just gets smaller. Monday the 6th through to Sunday the 12th, we’re stuck with ankle-snappers, 1ft to 2ft, and combined energy dropping into the teens and twenties. There are a few glassy mornings – like Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th with glassy conditions and light SE winds – but with a tiny 1ft swell and period between 8 and 10 seconds, it’s still a flat day.
The second week doesn’t get any better. From Monday the 13th through to Sunday the 19th, the swell height tops out at a miserable 2ft on the 14th, with combined energy reaching 86 – still weak. Winds become more cross-on and choppy, especially on the 12th and 13th when a long-period 16 to 20 second swell tries to show up, but it’s only 0.3ft of height. That’s not surf, that’s a lake.
Honestly, there’s no standout day here. Not a single recommendation to paddle out. If you’re a kitesurfer, some of those cleaner, cross-off afternoons on the 15th, 16th, or even the 18th might give you something to play with, but for a surfer holding a board? Save your energy. This is a proper flat spell, and it stretches the whole 16 days. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a blank run.
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.
