Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this is a tough stretch for Rhos-On-Sea. We’re looking at a pretty barren 16-day window. The short version: there’s barely a ripple worth paddling for.
Right out of the gate, we’ve got nothing. The first few days are a write-off. From Friday the 3rd through to Tuesday the 14th, the surf is virtually non-existent. We’re talking a solid 11-day gap where you’d be better off taking up beach cricket. There’s just no energy in the water; combined energies are mostly zero or single digits. The water temp is a very unusual 63°, a full 6° warmer than normal for this time of year—freakishly warm, but it doesn't help the waves.
The first real hint of something comes on Wednesday the 16th of July. A little push of ESE swell builds through the day, with the afternoon seeing a clean 3 ft from the east on a short 4-second period. Combined energy only hits 18, so it’s still weak, but with a light offshore wind (9 mph from the SW), it will at least be clean. For an intermediate on the point, you might find a few little nuggets, but don’t expect much. This is the only period that even sniffs a recommendation, so if you're desperate, that Thursday afternoon is your best—and only—real shot.
Beyond that, Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th drop away again into glassy flatness or weak, short-period dribble. The point break at Rhos-On-Sea is inconsistent at the best of times, and this run confirms it. It’s a blank spell that’s pretty normal for this setup. Keep your eyes on the charts, but for now, save your energy.
Rusty.

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.
