The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. It’s a bleak outlook for Rhosneigr for a while. The water’s sitting around 64°F, which is much warmer than usual for the season – about 4°F above the norm, so you can leave the thick wetsuit behind.
From Tuesday the 11th all the way through to Sunday the 23rd of August, it’s flat or tiny. Waves are 0.3ft to 1ft, with combined energy barely registering – often under 20. The wind is mostly rubbish, and even on the clean days (15th, 16th, 17th) there’s zero swell. Nothing to ride.
There’s a little pulse on Monday the 24th of August. Early morning brings 5ft from the SSW, period of 6 seconds – short period windswell – with a moderate 23 km/h offshore breeze from the NE. The energy hits 155 (moderate). It’s clean but small. Afternoon drops to 3ft, still offshore, still just surfable.
The one to save your energy for is Wednesday the 26th of August. That morning, we’ve got 7ft from the SW, 7-second period, combined energy of 385 (strong). The wind turns glassy – dead calm from the east. That’s as perfect as it gets for Rhosneigr. The swell is over 5ft, so it’s for intermediate and up – a bit much for beginners. Direction is straight out of the SW, the spot’s sweet spot. The afternoon goes cross-onshore and drops to 6ft, still okay but nothing like that glassy session.
So here’s the deal: the first two weeks are a bust. The 24th is a small window, but the real standout is that Wednesday morning, the 26th of August. That’s your day.
Rusty.

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.
