Rodiles Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Gap first: nothing worth paddling out for from now until the morning of the 24th. That’s a solid stretch of ankle-biters and onshores—a full week of staring at flat water. A couple of glassy moments on the 19th and 22nd, but with waves under 2 feet, you’re better off re-waxing and waiting.

Then, on Monday the 24th of August, things finally switch on. Rodiles (Asturias) goes from dead to dangerous. Morning shows a 7.2ft WNW swell with a short, lumpy 6-second period—not clean, but the offshore SW wind at 6 mph keeps it tidy. That’s a real push of energy, and the combined swell energy jumps to 447 (moderate). By the afternoon, it’s the one: 8.2ft from the NW, period stretching to 8 seconds, and a moderate offshore breeze at 12 mph out of the WSW. Energy reads 836—strong. This is the standout of the whole window. For experts only, proper river-mouth power. Water temp is 72.3°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so booties are optional.

Tuesday the 25th is a step down: 5.6ft in the morning, easing to 4.6ft by afternoon, with a cross-offshore wind that keeps it clean but a bit bumpy. Energy fades from 396 to 217. Still ridable, but the spark is gone. Wednesday the 26th drops off fast—under 3 feet and fading.

There’s a brief, modest pulse on Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st: around 3.3ft to 3.6ft from the NNW, with 10 to 11-second intervals and light cross-offshore winds in the mornings. Energy sits in the 254 to 327 range (moderate). These are clean-ish, average days—not the big one, but enough to get wet. Afternoon winds turn cross-shore and chop things up, so mornings are your window.

Overall: the 24th afternoon is the pick of the month. Big, clean, powerful—set your alarm. The rest is waiting for leftovers.
