The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Rhosneigr is a tough one to write. We’re looking at a real flat spell with nothing but poor surf conditions across the board. The swell just isn't showing up, and when it does, the wind is in the wrong place. There are no real standouts, no sessions to get excited about. It’s a long stretch of small, weak, or messy waves.
The first week kicks off with a bit of energy, but it’s all ugly. Monday the 31st has a 5ft WNW swell in the morning, but it’s a short, weak 5-second period with a fresh cross-shore wind. The combined energy is only 160 (moderate), but it’s lumpy and choppy. Afternoon drops to 2ft. Tuesday the 1st brings a tiny 3ft swell onshore with a 4-second period – that’s barely a ripple. Through Wednesday and Thursday, we get a bit more size, up to 5ft on Wednesday morning, but it’s all onshore or cross-onshore, with the swell period stuck under 7 seconds. The energy figures climb into the 100s (moderate), but the quality is zero. By Friday the 4th, the wind is cranking at 25 mph on a 6ft swell – that’s a washing machine. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The second week is a death sentence for surf. From Saturday the 5th onward, the swell drops off a cliff. We’re talking 2ft to 4ft weekend slop, then Monday the 7th through Tuesday the 8th shows a bit of a pulse – 5ft on Monday afternoon with a light breeze, but it’s still cross-onshore and lumpy. After that, it’s game over. By Wednesday the 9th, the swell is gone, and from the 10th of September all the way through to the 15th, we’re looking at knee-high dribble – 0.3ft to 2ft. The wind does go clean or cross-off for a few days (10th to 11th), but there’s nothing to ride. The combined energy is a measly 1 to 31 (weak). The 14th has a long-period 12-second swell, but it’s only 0.3ft – that’s a complete non-event.
The best of a bad lot? Honestly, there isn’t one. If you’re desperate, Monday afternoon the 7th might have the most size at 5ft, but it’s still messy. For a long-range hope, Tuesday the 14th has that 12-second period groundswell, but with barely any height, it’s a teaser. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no wetsuit surprises there. This is a blank run, plain and simple. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a paddling holiday.
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.
