Table - best surf conditions forecast for Fishermans (Rhiw) over the next 16 days.
Alright crew, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a rough outlook. We’re staring at a long stretch of flat, poor conditions, so don’t hold your breath. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Friday, July 24th. That means we’ve got a gap of nearly two weeks of barely a ripple. It’s one of those periods where you’re better off checking the forecasts again later, because this is a proper dry spell.
The only spot that pops up is Fishermans (Rhiw). It’s a reef break, good for beginners. It’s fairly consistent when there’s swell, but with the tiny waves we’re seeing, that doesn’t mean much. The water is sitting at 62°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year.
The one standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Friday, July 24th. On that morning, we get a bit of a pulse. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the SSW with a short period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (110). The magic here is the wind: it’s glassy. Absolutely dead calm. For that small window, it’ll be clean and small, but with that short period, it’s not going to have much push. The afternoon sees a bigger 6ft from the WSW, but it gets ruined by onshore wind, so no good.
After that, it’s back to tiny, weak stuff right through to the end of the forecast. The morning of Saturday the 25th is glassy again but with only 2ft and a combined energy of 40, it’s barely a bump.
Look, this is a tough run. Fishermans (Rhiw) is a beginner-friendly reef, but with waves this small and inconsistent, it’s not really a goer. The only time to even dip a toe in is that Friday morning, and even then, keep your expectations low. Crowds are possible there sometimes, so on that one clean day, you might see a few other hopefuls. For the rest of it, the kite surfers might get a look at the afternoon breezes, but for paddle surfing, it’s a write-off.
Stay patient. Rusty.
