## Conditions at Oxwich Point

Oxwich Point is open to the sea from the **E–WSW**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the WNW–NNE.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better on Sat and Sun and a no-go on Tue and Wed (waves). Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

The water stays warm past 34 m.
