Rusty here again. Let's chew through this next bit.

Honestly, for the first week and a half, it’s a bit of a sad story. There’s barely anything to get excited about. The swell is tiny, the wind is often ugly, and most of the time it's just flat. There is a long stretch from the 3rd of July all the way through to the 11th where the conditions are just terrible for a proper surf. We're talking knee-high slop at best, with cross-onshore winds messing it up. The first real sign of life doesn't show up until the 16th of July, over a week and a half away. That’s a massive gap of flatness.

When we finally get a pulse of energy, it's Fishermans (Rhiw) that gets the nod, and it’s all about the 18th of July. Saturday morning sees a pulse of 4ft swell from the west, wrapping in with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (64), but the real winner here is the wind. It’s light offshore from the north, so it’ll be clean. The set up is a reef break, fairly exposed to the SW, so it picks up that westerly energy alright. It's a beginner-friendly wave when it's small like this, and it looks like a proper, clean little bank. The afternoon holds similar size (4ft) and cross-offshore breezes from the NW. This is the standout window.

The water temps are around 62°F on the 3rd, which is about 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s notably warm.

There is nothing else worth paddling out for in that whole 16-day run. The waves are just too small and the wind too average.

Rusty.

Information about the Fishermans (Rhiw) Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Fishermans (Rhiw) provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Fishermans (Rhiw) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Fishermans (Rhiw) 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 (Fishermans (Rhiw)) 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 Fishermans (Rhiw) 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.
