Rhosneigr Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – if you were hoping for a week of pumping waves and empty lineups, you’ve come to the wrong place. This stretch we’re looking at is a proper flat spell, a real test of patience. We’ve got a long gap on the cards with next to nothing rideable, so don’t be surprised if the boards stay in the shed for a good while. There’s possibly a brief window of something rideable mid-period, but it’s not going to be pretty.

The first real chance of anything at all is Monday the 14th. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is something, I guess. Monday morning starts off small with a southwest swell pushing 4ft, but the wind’s howling onshore out of the south at 19 mph, making things lumpy and messy. Not great. The afternoon picks up a bit more energy, with the swell jumping to 6ft from the SSW, and the combined energy gets up to 202, so there’s some push there. But the wind is even stronger, a solid 28 mph, and it’s all over it like a rash. The whole setup is just blown out. For a beginner, this is way too much; for the experts, it’s a wild, bumpy mess. This might be one of those days where the kites are having more fun than the surfers.

After that, the bottom drops out. Tuesday the 15th is a write-off, with the swell fading fast and the wind still howling onshore. The rest of that week slips away into tiny, weak surf and more wind, with the energy readings dropping into single digits and the swell heights barely a ripple. You’re looking at days of 0.3ft to 2ft with no real power behind them.

The following weekend and into the next week is just flat. From Friday the 18th, right through to Monday the 21st, there’s just no swell at all – the energy numbers are basically zero, and the job is a complete blank. It’s just one of those stretches where the ocean takes a holiday.

There is one late glimmer, though. On Tuesday the 22nd, the swell tries to make a come-back, with a 3ft southwesterly swell showing in the morning. But, as you’d expect, the wind is cranking onshore again, this time at 28 mph, gusting up to 31 in the afternoon. It’s a complete washout. So, there you have it. Not a single day in this whole 16-day window that I’d get excited about. It’s flat, it’s windy, and the surf quality is just poor across the board.

Keep the faith, though. This kind of blank run never lasts forever, and the ocean will find its rhythm again. But for now, it’s a waiting game.

Rusty.
