The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let me level with you. We’ve got a 16-day run on the books for Rhosneigr, and I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough one. The first few days are basically a write-off for any kind of proper surf. We’re looking at tiny ankle-snappers or nothing at all, with the swell barely registering. The water is sitting at a very warm 64°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a little weird, but it won’t help the waves.
The first glimmer of anything with a bit of grunt doesn’t show up until the morning of Friday the 28th of August. Even then, it’s a messy 4ft from the SSW, but with a period of only 5 seconds – that’s just wind chop, and the wind is a cross-onshore. It’s not worth getting excited about.
The biggest swell of the whole period hits on the morning of Saturday, the 29th of August. We’re looking at 6ft from the W, with combined wave energy of 206 (moderate). But here’s the kicker – the wind is howling from the W at 22 mph, making it a fresh cross-onshore. That’s going to be lumpy, messy, and pretty much unsurfable. At 6ft, it’s pushing into the “too big for beginners” zone, but with those conditions, it’s only going to appeal to the die-hards or maybe the kite surfers looking for a session.
After that, it drops off again. We get a bit of a bump on the morning of Sunday the 6th of September, with 3ft from the WNW, but it’s a short period of 4 seconds and a cross-shore wind. Nothing to write home about.
The final wave of note is on the morning of Friday the 4th of September, with 4ft from the SSW and a combined energy of 96 (weak). The wind is onshore from the SW at 25 mph, turning it into a messy, blown-out onshore mess.
Honestly, looking at this whole 16-day window, there isn’t a single standout. Nothing is lining up. The swell direction is mostly from the SW, which matches the optimum for Rhosneigr, but the wind and the quality just aren’t there. The blank run is pretty much the whole 16 days. It’s one of those periods where the forecast can change, but as it stands, you’re better off getting the gear ready for a different time.
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.
