The Lowdown
Alright, this is a tough one to call. I’ve been staring at the charts for Rhosneigr, and honestly, it’s a bit of a lean spell for the next 16 days. The water is sitting at 64°F which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice bonus if you’re just getting in the water, but the waves themselves are not doing us any favours.
We start off on Tuesday the 25th with tiny, weak 0.3ft swell from the SW. The wind is a cross-off on Tuesday morning, turning offshore in the afternoon, so the surface will be clean, but there’s just no energy to work with – the combined energy is only 10. It’s the same story on Wednesday and Thursday: tiny waves, mostly clean, but nothing to ride. Thursday afternoon is glassy, which is a rare treat, but with 0.7ft and a period of 7 seconds, it’s flat.
Then Friday the 28th brings a bit of a jump in swell height to 5ft, but the period is a short 5 seconds and the wind is onshore from the SW at 16 mph, making it messy. The combined energy is only 94, so weak. The rest of that weekend and into the start of next week is a write-off: onshore winds, short period slop, and very low energy.
We hit a bit of a spike on Tuesday the 1st of September. The swell is coming in at 10ft from the SW, with a period of 8 seconds and a huge combined energy of 1334. That’s a lot of juice, but the wind is cross-onshore from the SSW at 16 mph, making it a choppy, powerful mess. This is an expert-only zone if anyone is brave enough, but the quality is poor. It would be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer in these conditions.
The following week is a rinse and repeat of onshore winds and generally poor surf. There’s a glimmer on Monday the 7th of September: the wind shifts to a cross-off from the North at 16 mph, cleaning things right up, with a 6ft to 7ft swell from the WSW. The period is still short at 6 seconds, but at least it’s clean, and the combined energy is a moderate 320. That’s about the best we get, but it’s only a marginal call.
Overall, this is a poor run. The swell never really lines up with decent wind. There’s a long gap from the start until the first week of September with nothing worth paddling for. The 10ft pulse on the 1st is too big and messy, and the clean days are just too small. The only potential standout is that Monday the 7th with the clean, cross-off wind and a bit of size, but it’s a short period swell, so it’s a gamble. The forecast confidence is low for that far out. For now, the best advice is to keep an eye on the charts, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
