The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but in feet and miles. We start with a long drought—over a week of nothing worth paddling for at Rodiles. This is an expert river break, fairly consistent when it’s on, but for the first 10 days or so, it’s a ghost town of small, onshore slop. Energy numbers are mostly weak, under 100.
Thursday the 20th shows a pulse, but the wind is cross-onshore and the wave comment says “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” The energy jumps to 202 and then 512, so there’s power, but it’s not clean. Skip it.
Your one true standout is Sunday, August 30th. The morning is glassy, dead calm. Swell is 4ft from the NNW at 11 seconds—that’s a nice long-period groundswell. At a river mouth, that long period can make the wave stand up and bend around the sandbars. The combined energy is 553 (strong power). This is clean, shapely, and all yours if you’ve got the chops for an expert drop.
Monday the 31st morning is almost as good: 4ft from the NNW, 12-second period, glassy again, with energy at 488. Another banger of a session.
Water temp was 72° on the 16th, about 4° warmer than usual, so it’s unseasonably warm—perfect for a spring suit or just a rash guard.
These are the only two real windows in 16 days. Expect a crew at the peak because the weekends pull people in. If you miss those, the morning of Saturday the 29th has tiny 1ft swell but a very long 14-second period and glassy wind—energy at 146—good for a longboard when you’re desperate.
Bottom line: August 30th and 31st mornings. That’s all you need.
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.
