The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Right now, we're in a bit of a flat spell. The first few days are looking pretty ordinary with small, weak waves and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. It's a slow start, but don't write the whole window off just yet.
Things start to wake up around Thursday, 20 August. Thursday morning, Rodiles (a river break) will see a clean 4 ft swell from the NNW with a period of 11 seconds. The wind is glassy, which is a major positive. The water temperature is sitting at 72°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Friday, 21 August, keeps the momentum going. The morning session looks clean with a 4 ft swell from the north, a period of 10 seconds, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the WNW. The combined swell energy is moderate (455), so there's some decent push behind it.
Saturday, 22 August, and Sunday, 23 August, see a drop in quality with onshore winds and smaller, weaker swell. The surfable window narrows here.
Now, keep your eyes on the long-range forecast. The real standout looks like Saturday, 29 August. The early morning is calling for a hefty 10 ft groundswell from the NW with a period of 13 seconds, combined with glassy conditions. The energy reading is massive (4221), and the forecast is for excellent surf conditions. This is solid, powerful swell, and it's definitely for experienced surfers only. The direction is a perfect match for Rodiles' optimum swell direction. This is the one to circle on the calendar.
Sunday, 30 August, and Monday, 31 August, still have some size, with 6 ft to 6 ft from the NW, but the conditions look more mixed and less clean than the Saturday peak.
Into the first week of September, Tuesday, 01 September, morning offers a clean 5 ft northwest swell (629 combined energy) with a light cross-offshore breeze, so still some fun waves to be had.
The long-range stuff is always a bit less certain, but the potential for a very good day on the 29th is there. Keep an eye on the forecasts.
Rusty, out.

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.
