The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. Right now, we’re looking at a pretty flat and quiet start for Rhosneigr, with a long stretch of small, weak swell that’s not really doing anything for us. The wait is on.
Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th are a write-off – tiny waves, poor conditions, and onshore winds. Nothing doing. Friday the 21st through to Monday the 24th stay flat with those tiny 0.3ft swell heights and long periods of 13 to 15 seconds, which is all just background noise. Clean conditions, sure, but you’d be bobbing around on lake-like water. That’s a solid four-day gap with no real surf.
Tuesday the 25th sees a tiny bump of 2ft to 2ft, but it’s short-period windswell (4 seconds) and the wind is onshore or glassy. Still not worth paddling out for.
Now, here’s the standout. Wednesday the 26th morning – that’s the one to circle. We get a 6ft swell from the south with an 8-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 539 (moderate to strong). The wind is a light offshore from the east, keeping things clean. That’s a solid window of decent surf for those who are comfortable in a bit of size. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.
After that, the surf drops off again. Wednesday afternoon and Thursday the 27th get messy with onshore cross-winds, and the rest of the month looks pretty average with small, choppy conditions. There’s a bit of a pulse on Saturday the 29th afternoon – 3ft from the SSW, clean with offshore winds, but it’s only a 1 out of 10 quality. Better than nothing, but not a standout.
Sunday the 30th brings a bigger swell (5ft to 7ft), but the wind is howling from the NNW and WNW at 22 mph, making it cross and cross-on. That’s 7ft with messy, lumpy conditions – only for the experts, and even then it’s a struggle. The wave energy is strong (403), but the wind kills it.
The first few days of September roll in with more small, onshore windswell. Nothing to get excited about.
So, the bottom line: if you’re itching for a wave, Wednesday 26th morning is your best bet. Clean, decent size, and offshore wind. The rest of the 16-day window is mostly quiet or blown out.
Rusty, signing off.

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