The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next little while.
We’ve got a run of surf coming through, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag to start. The main spot to focus on is Rodiles, and it’s a river mouth setup that can really fire when conditions line up. Water temp is sitting at 71°, which is a touch warmer than what we’d usually expect for this time of year – not a massive anomaly but worth noting if you’ve been in the water lately.
The first real window opens up on Sunday morning, 30 August. It’s not the biggest push, with 4ft of NW swell and a period of 9 seconds, but the wind is light cross-off from the WNW at 6 mph, so it’ll be clean enough. The combined energy is moderate at 276. Not a standout, but a surfable start if you’re keen.
Monday morning, 31 August, is where things start to look a bit more interesting. Swell bumps up to 6ft from the NW with a 10-second period – that’s groundswell territory, so it’ll have some push. The wind is glassy from the NW at just 3 mph, which is the best you can ask for. Energy is solid at 636. This is a proper session if you can get out there, but at that size, it’s worth noting this is an expert break for a reason. The wave shape should be good, but expect it to be a bit more challenging.
Tuesday morning, 1 September, drops back a touch to 4ft from the NW with a 10-second period, but again, glassy conditions with a slight air from the E at 3 mph. Energy is moderate at 284. It’s clean but smaller – a nice follow-up session if the Monday was too much.
Now, there’s a bit of a lull from Wednesday, 2 September, all the way through to the morning of Friday, 4 September. During that stretch, the swell drops away and the wind turns cross-onshore or onshore, mostly from the ENE or NE. Sizes are below 2ft and the energy gets weak, down to 48 at one point. Not worth paddling out for.
Friday morning, 4 September, brings a little hope back with 3ft from the NW, a period of 11 seconds (longer period groundswell), and glassy conditions with 3 mph W wind. Combined energy is moderate at 247. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
The next real standout comes on Wednesday morning, 9 September. This is the one to circle on the calendar. Swell jumps to 8ft from the NNW with an 11-second period – that’s a solid, powerful groundswell. Combined energy is strong at 1288. The wind is a light cross-off from the NW at 3 mph, so it’ll be clean. This is an expert-only wave at this size. For the experienced crew, it’s going to be a ripper. Wednesday afternoon also looks good, with 6ft from the NNW and glassy conditions from the NNE at just 3 mph, energy still high at 684. Two excellent sessions in one day if you can handle it.
There’s a bit of a wind-affected period after that, but the next real potential big day is Sunday morning, 13 September. Another long-period groundswell, this time 4ft from the NNW with a 14-second period – very long period, so it’s going to have heaps of energy and that lovely, fat, powerful feel. Combined energy is strong at 796. Glassy conditions again, with just 3 mph from the WNW. This is another high-quality session, especially if you’re riding a point or reef setup.
Monday morning, 14 September, still has good energy at 6ft from the NW with an 11-second period, and glassy wind from the N at 3 mph. Energy is 979, so plenty of push, but by afternoon the wind swings onshore, so the morning is the window.
To sum it up, the absolute best on offer are Monday morning, 31 August, Wednesday morning and afternoon, 9 September, and Sunday morning, 13 September. Wednesday 9 September is the true standout – the biggest clean swell of the period, with solid energy and near-perfect wind. Don’t miss it if you’ve got the skills for it.
Stay safe, keep an eye on the tide at that river mouth, and I’ll see you in the water.

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.
