The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight – if you’re looking for a solid surf over the next couple of weeks at Rodiles, you’re gonna have to be patient. This is a long, slow stretch of very small, weak waves and tricky wind. The combined wave energy is mostly under 100, which is just weak stuff. That first real whisper of something worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until Thursday the 13th, and even then it’s barely a session.
Thursday morning the 13th we finally get a little flicker of life – a glassy 2ft swell from the NNW. The period is a modest 10 seconds, and the combined energy is only 84, so we’re not talking about anything to get excited over. The wind is glassy though, which is a major positive, so the surface will be clean. But this is just small, weak surf. If you’re desperate for a splash, it’ll be the best of a bad bunch.
Sunday morning the 16th is another tiny window – a glassy 4ft from the north, but it’s a short period swell (7 seconds). That bounce makes for weak, fat waves. The combined energy here is 107, still very weak. It’s surfable but ordinary.
The water temp is about what you’d expect for the time of year – nothing unusual.
Now, if you can hold out until the 22nd, things get a bit more interesting. Saturday morning the 22nd brings a clean, glassy 3ft swell from the NNW with a 10-second period. The combined energy jumps to 181, which is moderate. It’s still small, but the conditions look promising.
Then, Saturday afternoon the 22nd of August is the only real standout in this whole outlook. We see a 7ft swell from the NNW, a period of 13 seconds, and a combined energy of 1420 – that’s strong energy. But, and it’s a big but, the wind is onshore from the NE at 9 mph. That will chop it up. Plus, 7ft is heading toward expert territory, especially at a river mouth. This is the biggest pulse by far, but you’ll be dealing with tricky conditions. It’s a wait-and-see.
Beyond that, the Sunday the 24th has some longer period groundswell (15 seconds!) from the WNW, but the combined energy is only 359, and it’s cross-on shore. That long period at a river/beach break setup can make it break a bit straight.
Rodiles is a river break, fairly exposed to the NW swell, and it can get crowded often. But over this 16-day window, the crowds won't be the problem – the lack of quality swell will be.
Look, if you’re a beginner, stay away from the 22nd afternoon. Anything over 5ft is too much, and 7ft is no joke. The rest of the time, it’s just tiny. For the experts, the 22nd afternoon has the juice, but it won’t be clean.
Stay patient, folks. 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.
