Rodiles Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Wednesday morning’s got a little pulse at Rodiles, but honestly, it’s not doing much. We’ve got a clean, glassy start with a 4ft NW swell rolling in at 8 seconds, and the water’s sitting at 69°, which is about normal for this time of year. That early session is your best bet because the wind is dead calm and the place should be tidy. But even then, it’s not world-class – just a bit of fun before the onshores kick in.

The rest of Wednesday turns to mush. By afternoon, the NE breeze picks up and flattens things right out – 2ft and messy. Don't bother.

Thursday morning is more of the same, a 4ft NW swell but it’s cross-on and looking iffy. Poor afternoon, doesn’t improve. Friday’s a write-off, tiny 3ft stuff, and Saturday’s even smaller – 2ft max. There’s a couple of days here where you’re just watching the tide move, and not much else.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Sunday the 13th – this is the standout, no doubt. The swell jumps to 5ft from the NNW, period stretches to 12 seconds, and the energy in the water is strong (624). This is proper groundswell, the kind that lines up nicely on a river mouth like Rodiles. Only catch is the cross-on wind from the ESE, which will put a few ripples on it, but it’s still the best size and power we see all week. Combined with 5ft in the afternoon, this is the one to circle.

Monday’s a step down – 3ft and onshore chop. Tuesday’s flat. But then Wednesday the 16th, we get a little clean-up with a cross-off breeze – 2ft, ordinary, but at least it’s clean. Not worth getting wet for unless you’re desperate.

Then Thursday the 17th – another decent window. The wind goes glassy again, and we’ve got 3ft of NW swell, 10 seconds. It’s a clean morning session, and while the energy (334) is moderate, it’ll be a fun one if you’re not expecting much.

The following week gets a bit messy. Friday and Saturday are poor, but then Sunday the 20th is back to tiny. Monday’s onshore again. But don’t sleep on Tuesday the 22nd – light rain, glassy, and a 4ft NW swell with a 12-second period. That’s a lovely little dawny, if you can get out before the breeze swings onshore in the afternoon.

Wednesday the 23rd is small – 2ft – and then Thursday the 24th brings another pulse. 5ft from the NNW, 11 seconds, glassy in the morning. That’s your second real standout of the whole run – clean, decent size, and the energy’s right up there (628). That’s a proper session if you time the morning tide right.

So, in a nutshell: Sunday the 13th is the big one – biggest swell, most power, just keep an eye on that wind. Thursday the 24th is the clean one – smaller but still solid. Everything else is pretty average, so pick your windows wisely.
