The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again. Let's talk Rhosneigr in feet and Fahrenheit.
Honestly, buds, it's a tough stretch coming up. We've got a long stretch of tiny, gutless surf, and most of what shows up gets wrecked by the wind. There's almost a week of nothing worth paddling for.
The first thing that catches my eye is Tuesday, 28th August, but it's not exactly a gem. We see a 4ft southerly swell roll in, but it's pinned under a strong onshore wind at 22 mph from the SSE. It's a lumpy, choppy mess all day. Wave energy is moderate (60), but quality is zip. It might be surfable for a beginner on a foamie, but it won't be fun.
There's a spike of power on Wednesday morning, 2nd September, with a 5ft southwest swell and a big 200 reading on the energy scale. But again, the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, making it choppy. It's close, but not quite good.
Finally, Wednesday afternoon, 2nd September is your only real window. The wind switches to a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the NNW at 12 mph, holding up a solid 4ft southwest swell (105 energy). *This* is the one to aim for. It'll be clean, with proper lines. That's your best chance.
For Rhosneigr, the water temperature is a warm 65°F, which is a big 4° above normal for this time of year. You won't need a thick wetsuit.
The rest of the time is onshore junk or tiny dribble. That final Monday, 31st August, sees 6ft of southwest swell with a massive 303 energy reading, but it's all onshore wind. With that power and the wind coming straight in, this spot is going to be a washing machine—better suited for the kite crew than us paddle-boarders.
So keep it simple: there's a week of flatness, then a few days of wind-blown trash, and a single clean shot on Wednesday afternoon, 2nd September. Don't miss it.

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.
