Alright, let’s talk about Rhos-On-Sea in feet and miles per hour. It’s a tough stretch, no two ways about it. The water is sitting at 62°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only bright spot.
From Tuesday the 7th right through to the 18th of July, it’s flat. Day after day of zero swell energy. The 10th of July sees a tiny 1ft NE windswell with a period of just 3 seconds, and it’s cross-onshore. Not worth getting wet for. The 11th has a small 2ft NNE swell, but it’s onshore and messy. Same old story of small, choppy slop. It’s a blank run.
Finally, on Monday the 20th of July, there’s a bit of life. The morning brings a 4ft NW swell with a 5-second period, combined energy of (83). Still weak, and with a cross-onshore wind it’ll be bumpy. The afternoon drops to 3ft, but the wind goes near glassy with some light rain. That afternoon window is the best of a bad lot, but it’s still tiny and weak.
The morning of Tuesday the 22nd of July offers a clean 2ft from the NW with a cross-offshore breeze, but the energy is just (7). It’s small and inconsistent, but it might be the only truly clean session in the whole outlook.
Rhos-On-Sea (point break) is inconsistent anyway, so this flat spell isn’t a shock. Given the tiny swells and onshore wind most days, the windier periods would be more interesting for kite surfing than for paddling.

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