Rhosneigr Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for Rhosneigr. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf conditions ahead, with only one real day that’s worth getting excited about, and that’s a week and a half away.

The water is running a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, coming in at about 63°, which is a bit of a silver lining if you’re just getting wet, but it’s not going to save the waves. For the most part, we’re looking at onshore winds and messy, lumpy surf. The energy is weak to moderate at best, and the swell direction just isn’t lining up for the break.

Thursday the 10th brings a pulse of windswell, with waves building to about 6 feet in the morning. But those southwesterly winds are blowing at 25 mph, so it’s going to be a raw, stormy mess. The swell energy climbs to a moderate 204, but the wind is killing it. It’s all churn and no shape. No good for anyone.

Friday the 11th and the weekend are just flat and disorganised. The swell drops off significantly, and we’re talking about knee-high dribble at best. There’s a brief bit of clean surf on Sunday morning with a light offshore wind, but the swell is barely there. It’s nothing to plan a session around.

Then things get properly messy again from Monday the 14th through to Wednesday the 16th with strong winds and rain. The swell kicks around the 3-foot mark, but it’s all short-period, peaky junk.

The energy picks up again on Saturday the 19th, with solid 6-foot swell showing. But again, the wind is cross-onshore and the period is short, making for a choppy, closed-out mess. It looks more like a kitesurfing day than a surf day, to be honest.

Now, here’s the one to mark in your calendar. Sunday the 20th, morning. We’ve got a 6-7 foot swell from the west wrapping into the break, with a light offshore breeze from the east. The energy is strong at 293. It’s the only morning in the whole run with clean, surfable conditions. The swell direction is perfect and the wind will be holding it up nicely. This is your window. There’s enough size to have some fun, but it’s still manageable for confident intermediates.

Right, it’s a long, dry spell before that, but it’s worth waiting for. The Sunday morning session on the 20th is the standout. The rest of the run is skunked.

Stay patient.

Rusty.
