Rodiles Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for this stretch of coast.

We’re starting off quiet, with a bit of a wait before anything worth paddling out for shows its face. The first few days, Saturday the 5th and into Sunday, are a write-off for decent surf: the swell is messy and the wind’s got it all chopped up. You’ll want to sit tight and find something else to do.

The real action starts to kick off on Monday morning, the 7th. That’s when we get our first standout window. The morning session is looking clean and glassy, with a long-period NW swell around 3ft from the northwest, period of 13 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, carrying some decent energy (277). The combined energy is moderate, but the glassy conditions are what make it special. The water’s sitting at 70°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit.

Now, for the real highlight of the whole forecast, you’ve got to mark Wednesday the 9th. The morning is looking absolutely prime. The wind is dead calm, glassy as a mirror, and the swell jumps up to 5ft from the NNW with a period of 13 seconds. That’s a solid, long-period groundswell with strong energy (865). This is a river break, so that long-period swell will wrap in nicely, giving you some proper lines. It’s all set up for some of the best waves we’ll see in the next two weeks.

After that, it tails off again. We get a few more mornings with clean, glassy conditions and smaller waist-high swell through the rest of the week and into the weekend, but nothing that really stands out. The second week is mostly small, with waves hovering around the knee to waist-high mark, and the winds are a bit more mixed. There’s a brief uptick on the morning of Sunday the 13th with a glassy 3ft swell from the NNW, but it’s not a patch on that Wednesday session.

The long-range outlook from the 16th onwards is thin and inconsistent. Most days show small, weak swell with very low energy readings (43 to 141). You’ll see a few clean, glassy mornings, but the waves will be tiny. There’s a slight bump on the 18th with a 3ft NW swell showing up, but the wind is onshore, so it’s not going to be pretty.

Overall, the best bet is clear: Wednesday morning, September 9th. That’s your standout. Get on it early, because the crowds are likely at this spot. After that, keep an eye on the glassy mornings, but don’t expect much.

Rusty.
