The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down. The short story is, it’s a long, flat spell for Oxwich Point. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a struggle, with only a couple of moments that might get your heart rate up. For the most part, we’re talking knee-high dribble and poor surf conditions. There’s a big gap of nothing worthwhile from now until the 25th of July.
First bit of real interest shows up on Saturday the 25th of July. The morning brings a pulse of 5ft swell from the west, with a short period of 7 seconds. The offshore wind from the NW will be a welcome sight, keeping things clean. The combined energy hits 205 (moderate), so there’s some push. This is a reef break, so that short period west swell should set up some decent lines. It’s a bit of a late shout, but this is the standout of the entire window. It’s a small window, but it’s the best we’ve got.
The Sunday morning the 26th of July is a step down, with 2ft from the west and a cross-offshore breeze. It’s clean, but the energy drops right off (23). Then we’re back to the flat stuff until Tuesday the 28th of July, where the morning shows a 4ft west swell, period 7 seconds, and combined energy of 113 (moderate). The wind is cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean, but again, it’s a short-period swell on a reef, so it should be workable.
The water temperature is sitting at 68°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a good 8°F above average, so it’s a surprise. Crowds are a possibility here, as it’s a spot that can get busy.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the 25th of July morning is your best bet. The rest is a waiting game.

A general guide to surfing at Oxwich Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
