The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Rodiles over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first week and a half is a tough watch. There’s a real dry spell from the start all the way through to the morning of Thursday the 6th of August. That’s a long gap with nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1 ft to 2 ft, and the period is short, so the waves are just weak and unorganised. The energy is barely registering, with combined swell energy figures in the 20s and 30s.
When we finally get a whisper of life on the morning of Thursday the 6th, the swell bumps up to 3 ft from the NW, and the energy finally climbs to a moderate 125. The wind is glassy out of the east, which is a big plus. But even then, the conditions are only just surfable, and it’s really ordinary. The period is still a short 8 seconds, so it’s not going to be pretty.
After that, we slide back into the doldrums. The swell stays small, mostly under 3 ft, and the wind is nearly always cross-on or onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. The energy stays weak, mostly in the 20s, 30s, and 40s. There’s a day on the 15th of August with a little 3 ft swell and a clean cross-offshore wind, but the period is only 5 seconds, so it’s just bumpy, weak stuff.
The only real standout comes at the very end of the forecast. On the morning of Sunday the 16th of August, we get a pulse of 4 ft swell from the north with a slightly better period of 7 seconds. The energy is moderate at 138, and the wind is glassy. It’s still not a classic, but it’s the best we’ve got. The water temp is about 70°F, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Because the swell is small and the wind is usually poor, this setup is more interesting for a kite session than a proper paddle. Rodiles is a river mouth and an expert spot, so it takes a lot to get it right. It’s fairly consistent, but when the swell is this weak, the crowds can still be a factor when it does break.
To wrap it up, the early morning of Sunday the 16th of August is your best bet. Glassy wind, 4 ft from the north, and the most energy we’ll see. It’s not a world-beater, but it’s the only real window.
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.
