The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk this stretch.
We’ve got a pretty dry start around Rodiles. The first week or so is a wasteland – no real surf at all from now up until the morning of Friday, August the 21st. That’s about six days of nothing worth paddling out for. The water’s hanging at 72°, which is a little warmer than usual for the season, but that doesn’t do much for the wave count.
Then, on the morning of the 21st, we finally get a pulse. Swell comes up to about 4ft from the NW, with an 11-second period – that’s real groundswell. The wind is light WSW offshore, which should keep the surface clean. Combined energy sits at 603 (moderate). This is a proper break for experts, being a river mouth, so expect some hollow sections. It will draw a crowd, so be ready for a packed lineup.
The absolute standout, though, is Sunday, the 23rd of August. The morning delivers 7ft of NW swell, glassy conditions, and just a whisper of easterly wind. That’s 431 units of energy in the morning, building to a massive 727 in the afternoon as the swell hits 7ft. The period drops slightly to 9 seconds, but the power is undeniable. This is strictly for the experts – anything over 8ft is no joke, especially at a river mouth. It’ll be big, clean, and powerful. That afternoon slot is your best bet of the whole outlook if you’ve got the skill.
Monday the 24th still has size, 6ft to 7ft, but the wind picks up and comes more cross-shore, so it won’t be as clean.
After Tuesday the 25th, the swell fades quickly, and it’s back to small, weak surf for the rest of the window through the 30th. Nothing else worth chasing.
If I had to call it: Sunday the 23rd of August is the big one for size and glass. Friday the 21st is your smaller, cleaner alternative with some real long-period push. Either way, it’s been a quiet spell, but that Sunday will make up for it.
Rusty.

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.
