Rhosneigr Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Rhosneigr has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you, the story for this stretch is a long, slow grind of tiny surf. We're looking at a real flat spell, so don't go getting your hopes up.

The water's sitting at a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, about 62°, so that's a nice comfort if you're just going for a paddle.

For the whole first week, from Sunday the 12th right through to the end of that week, it's a write-off. We're talking barely a ripple in the water with combined wave energy readings mostly below 30 – that's zero energy for a surfboard. On Thursday the 16th, we get a moment of glassy conditions in the afternoon, which is teasing, but it's on a tiny 0.3 ft swell. Just not enough to work with.

Into the second week, you'll see a little nudge. By Saturday the 18th morning, we might see 2 ft of swell from the SW with a short 6-second period and only a combined energy of 40. It's still considered poor, but it's the biggest we've seen. By Tuesday the 22nd, we get a pulse of 6 ft swell from the WSW with a period of 5 seconds, giving us a combined energy of 161 (moderate wave energy). For a couple of days there, on the 21st and 22nd, there's some size. But the problem is the wind. It's a steady light cross-onshore from the west and southwest. That’s not cleaning it up, and by Wednesday afternoon the wind turns onshore. That size, over 5 ft, will be a bit much for the beginners, and with that short period and onshore wind, it'll be a messy, lumpy affair.

If it was cleaner, the size might be interesting for a short while, but as it stands, with the poor quality and onshore wind at the point with the biggest swell, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

After that brief pulse, the surf dies right back off again on Thursday the 23rd, with the energy dropping to 2. So, for the remainder of the forecast out to Monday the 27th, we're basically back to flat, with a couple of days of nothing at all.

Honestly, there's no standout session here. It's a blank run that's pretty normal for this area when the swell windows don't line up. Don't bother packing the board for the next two weeks at Rhosneigr.

Rusty.
