The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in on the only spot worth talking about for the next couple of weeks.
First up, the water temp is sitting at 70°—a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’re in for a pleasant paddle.
Honestly, we’re looking at a real quiet stretch ahead. The first proper week is mostly a write-off with tiny, weak surf and only a few moments where it’s even rideable. From Monday the 3rd all the way through to Saturday the 9th, it’s mostly poor surf conditions with heights under 3ft and often very weak energy levels (down in the 30s and 40s). There’s a little bump on Sunday the 9th morning with 2ft from the NNW and glassy wind, but it’s still just “surfable but ordinary” with moderate energy (106). That’s the best of the first week, and it’s not saying much.
Then we get a few more days of similar small stuff through to the 15th. The only standout that’s worth circling on your calendar is Monday the 17th of August at Rodiles (river). The morning session sees 4ft of northwest swell with a 9-second period, and the wind is glassy—dead calm, clean as a whistle. The combined energy hits 380 (moderate to strong), and it’s the only time in the whole outlook where the forecast actually says “expect good surf conditions.” This is the pick of the run. The swell direction is NW, matching the optimum direction for this break, so it should line up well. Keep in mind Rodiles is a river mouth, so a longer period groundswell can sometimes run a bit straight, but 9 seconds is not overly long, so it should still shape up nicely. The break is fairly consistent, so you’ve got a decent chance of waves. However, it’s an expert-only spot, and crowds are often present, so expect company.
The morning of Sunday the 16th sees a pulse of 6ft from the NW but with a short 7-second period and only “surfable but ordinary” conditions—still worth a look if you’re desperate, but not the standout.
After that, the forecast drops away again. So, the play is clear: wait for the 17th. That’s your day.

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.
