The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and come sit down. Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for the next couple of weeks. It’s a real mixed bag for us, but let’s break it down.
First thing, the water is sitting at 71°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – feels pretty good on the skin.
The pattern starts off with a bit of life. Over the weekend of the 29th and 30th, we’ve got some rideable waves, but things are a little inconsistent. The real standout is going to be Saturday morning, the 29th of August. Rodiles is showing a solid 5ft of swell from the NW, and with glassy conditions and a 3 mph SSW wind, the surface is going to be like a mirror. The swell period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s a bit weak, but it’s clean. The combined energy is 270 – that’s weak, but with the wind being dead calm, the shape will be all about the river mouth. For a short window, this is the best on offer.
Sunday morning, the 30th, is another good look. The swell drops slightly to 4ft from the NW, but the period stretches to 9 seconds, giving it a bit more push. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the WNW at 6 mph, keeping the waves clean. The combined energy is 308 – still weak, but it’s a step up.
Then we hit a real sweet spot. Monday morning, the 31st of August, the swell bumps up to 5ft from the NW, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 518 – that’s moderate wave energy. And with glassy conditions from a light NNW wind, this is your best chance for a proper session. The waves will have some shape and power, but at 5ft, it’s getting big enough that beginners might want to stay on the beach and watch.
After that, the surf drops off hard. Tuesday, 1st September, starts with a smaller 4ft morning, but by the afternoon it’s gone. From Wednesday, 2nd September through to Friday, 11th September, we are looking at a long, dry spell. There’s barely any push, with waves between 1.0ft and 3ft and weak energy readings. Conditions are often poor, with onshore winds or cross-shore chop. It’s a real bummer of a run.
There is a flicker of hope on Saturday, 5th September morning. A long-period groundswell from the NNW arrives, 4ft with a period of 13 seconds. The combined energy is 478 – moderate. But, the wind is a cross-onshore from the east, and the forecast says the tide or conditions are questionable. That long period will wrap around the river mouth, but it’s not clean enough to call it a goer. A few days later, on Wednesday, 9th September morning, we get a tiny 2ft glassy window, but it’s barely surfable.
The tail end of the forecast, around Saturday morning, 12th September, we see a little pulse of 2ft from the NW, but with a period of 10 seconds and a 3 mph WSW glassy wind, it’s just a tease. The combined energy is only 86. It’s not going to save the week.
So, to be straight with you: the only real standout is Saturday morning, 29th August, and Monday morning, 31st August. If you’ve got a window, hit those. The rest of the 16 days is a long stretch of small, weak, or messy surf. Rodiles is a river mouth, so it can be fickle, but when it’s clean and glassy, it’s a gem. This time, it’s a short-lived gem.
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.
