The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here, and I’ve got to be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking like a real struggle for any decent surf. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, weak conditions ahead, so don’t get your hopes up too high.
The only real spot we’re looking at is Rodiles, and even then it’s a tough sell. This is a river mouth setup that’s best for experts, and it’s fairly consistent but it’s going to be a tale of waiting and hoping. The water’s a touch warmer than usual at 70°, so at least you won’t freeze while you’re staring at a flat ocean.
We’ve got a real blank run from the start. The first week is almost a total write-off with tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. The energy is in the weak range, mostly under 100 for the first several days, so there’s just nothing to work with. Winds are mostly light and messy, not doing us any favours. The only glimmer in the first week comes on Wednesday afternoon, August 5th – glassy conditions with a 3 ft NW swell, but it’s still weak energy and the waves are very ordinary. Not worth paddling out for.
Then we hit another dead zone. From Thursday the 6th through to the middle of the second week, it’s all poor surf and tiny, short-period swells. The energy drops right off, even down to single digits on the 12th and 13th. That’s flat, mate.
Things start to shuffle a little in the second week. Saturday morning, August 15th shows a little more promise with a 3 ft NW swell, clean offshore wind from the WNW, and the energy picks up to a moderate level. Still, it’s only surfable, not good. The best chance in the whole outlook might be Monday morning, August 17th. There’s a 4 ft NW swell with a 10-second period, clean cross-offshore wind, and the energy jumps to a moderate level that actually has some push. The waves are surfable but very ordinary, so temper your expectations. It’s a long way out, so take that with a grain of salt, but it’s the only real standout in the whole 16-day window.
Honestly, if you’re desperate, get the longboard ready for the 17th, but don’t hold your breath. This is a classic blank run for the area. It won’t stay this way forever, but for now, the ocean’s got nothing for us.

Information about the Rodiles Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Rodiles provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Rodiles can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Rodiles 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 (Rodiles) 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 Rodiles 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.
Rodiles is 23 km (14 miles) from the city of Gijon. If you plan a holiday in Asturias, look for hotels and other accommodation in Gijon. Gijon has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
