Rhosneigr Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks are doing for Rhosneigr. To be honest, mate, it’s a bit of a rough stretch. The wind is just all wrong for the most part, and the swell that does show up comes in with a lot of onshore energy, making a mess of things. The water here is sitting at 63°, which is a touch warmer than we’d normally expect for this time of year, so at least it won’t be a cold one if you’re stubborn enough to go out.

We start off the run on Saturday, September 12th, with a solid 8 ft SW swell but that 25 mph onshore wind is just trashing it – combined energy is 505. It’s not really a paddler’s game. That theme carries on through that weekend and into the next week. There are a couple of small windows, like early on Sunday the 13th when the wind drops to a 3 mph NE offshore and the swell pulls right back to 2 ft, but the energy is only 26 – it’s tiny and clean, but barely a ripple. The following Monday the 21st is the closest we get to something rideable. A glassy morning with a 2 ft SW groundswell (period 7 seconds) and just 60 in the energy bank. The conditions are described as surfable but very ordinary, so it’s a last resort for a log on a high tide.

The second week gets a bit more active, but not in a good way. By Sunday the 20th, we’ve got an onshore gale with an 8 ft SSW swell and energy readings of 860 – that’s all for the kites, not for us. The rest of the run into the end of September stays small, messy, or pinned flat by cross-onshore winds. The only real window where the wind turns off is on Friday the 25th, with a 9-15 mph NE offshore breeze, but the swell is just 1 ft, so it’s going to be a polished, flat lake. It’s a grim 16-day outlook, to be honest. There’s no standout session here, but if I had to point to the least bad option, it would be that glassy Monday morning on the 21st – just don’t expect much.
