The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. It’s been a quiet few days, but we’ve got a solid window coming up, so let’s get into it.
The first real chance to get wet is Sunday afternoon, August 30th, down at Rodiles (river mouth). We’re looking at a clean 5 ft swell from the NW with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (416). The wind is a light cross-shore from the NW at 6 mph, which will keep the surface tidy enough. The water is sitting at 69°, which is about average for this time of year. It’s not a classic, but it’s rideable—just be aware this spot is for experts, and it can get crowded.
Monday morning, August 31st, is where it ramps up nicely. The swell bumps up to 6 ft from the NW, period hitting 10 seconds, and the energy jumps to 636 (moderate). More importantly, we’ve got a clean cross-offshore breeze from the WNW at just 3 mph. That’s the kind of glassy morning you wait for. Rodiles will be offering up some proper, well-shaped lines. It’s the standout of the first week. Crowds are likely, but for a session like that, it’s worth the paddle.
The rest of the week into early September drops off fast. Tuesday morning through Thursday see the swell shrinking below 3 ft, with onshore winds and weak energy readings in the double digits. By Friday, September 4th, there’s a glimmer: a 4 ft NW swell with a very long 13-second period and clean cross-offshore winds. The energy is moderate (480). That’s a groundswell, and for a river mouth point like Rodiles, that long period will stack up nicely. But the swell is small, so it’s a playful, mellow option rather than a standout.
After that, from Saturday, September 5th, all the way through to Monday, September 14th, it’s a long, drawn-out dry spell. The swell drops below 3 ft, periods go short, winds turn onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy readings are mostly in the double digits—some days even under 50. There are a few glassy mornings with tiny waves, but nothing worth paddling out for. The 13th of September offers a whisper of 3 ft glassy surf, but really, it’s a flat spell.
So, the call is: Monday morning, August 31st, is your best bet. Clean, punchy, and no excuses. After that, keep your board waxed and wait for the next system.
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.
