Oxwich Bay Surf Guide

A stunning, wide sandy beach that's easily accessible. The beach break is very novice friendly when a small swell is running but can be a challenge during a BIG winter storm. The latter is when the crowds arrive. Experts can try their luck with the right point that needs some size to really get going.

Local Vibe

A talented local crew will be on it during the best days of the year so share nicely. A big beach so you can walk a little to east to find a quieter peak.
