The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the line for us.
To be straight with you, this is a tough stretch ahead. We've got a long, dry spell that stretches from now right through until the 6th of September. For the next couple of weeks, we're looking at small, weak swell and messy winds. There's just no energy in the water – the combined swell energy sits below 100, often in the single digits or tens, which is barely a ripple. The winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the waves themselves are tiny, often only 0.3ft to 1ft. It's going to be a frustrating time to be a surfer around here.
Things finally start to look interesting on Saturday the 6th of September. We get a pulse of swell that's worth getting out of bed for.
Saturday 6th September is the standout, and the only real option on the table. Early morning at Rhosneigr, we're looking at a solid 8ft swell from the WSW. The wind is offshore from the ENE at 12 mph, which is a game-changer. That offshore wind is going to hold the 8ft waves up, making for some clean, punchy walls. The combined energy jumps right up to 415, which is a strong, powerful push of water. The period on that is short at 6 seconds, so it's a wind swell, but with that size and the offshore wind, it's going to be a lot of fun. The afternoon cleans up even more with a gentle offshore breeze from the NE at 9 mph and the swell dropping a touch to 7ft from the W.
Now, with the swell over 8ft on the morning, it's going to be expert territory only, but the afternoon is more manageable for strong intermediates. Keep in mind, this is still a long-range call, so it's a promising prospect, but we'll need to keep an eye on it as it gets closer.
Other than that single day, there's nothing else. The second week of the outlook looks poor, with onshore winds and lumpy, choppy conditions. For the first time in a while, the forecast builds up to something.
For the first break I mentioned, the water is sitting at 64°F, which is a notable 4° warmer than usual for this time of year. You'll feel that.
Stay patient, and mark the 6th on your calendar. It's the best shot we've got.

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.
