The Lowdown
Alright, let’s take a look at what’s on the table for Rodiles. It’s a river mouth setup, expert territory, and fairly consistent when conditions line up. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there’s some real promise building as we head into the first weekend and beyond.
Right now, it’s flat to tiny. Wednesday morning the 26th of August you’re looking at a weak 1ft NW windswell with a short period of 9 seconds and combined energy of just 31 – barely a ripple. Cross-shore wind doesn’t help, and the water temp is sitting at 71°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Wednesday afternoon goes glassy but it’s down to 0.3ft, so no dice. Thursday the 27th sees a bump to 3ft from the NW but it’s short period (7 seconds) and onshore wind chops it up – poor surf conditions. Thursday afternoon cleans up a little with cross-offshore wind but the swell drops to 2ft.
Friday morning the 28th: still small at 3ft, period 10 seconds, cross-off wind, but conditions are only ordinary. The energy is still moderate at 219. Friday afternoon is where things start to get interesting – 7ft from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds, combined energy jumping to 908. Light cross-offshore breeze. That’s a solid, punchy wave for Rodiles. This is the first standout – expect very good surf conditions. But at over 7ft, this is expert territory only.
Saturday morning the 29th: drops back to 4ft, 8-second period, glassy conditions but only ordinary surf. Saturday afternoon goes onshore and messy. Sunday the 30th is marginal with a 5ft NW swell (10 seconds) and light cross-shore wind – energy at 521, but not clean enough to call it good.
Monday morning the 31st of August is another highlight. 5ft from the NW, period 10 seconds, glassy conditions, energy at 487 – expect good surf conditions. That’s a clean, solid option for experts. Afternoon goes onshore and drops off.
Tuesday the 1st of September through to Friday the 4th is a real lull. Swell hovers around 2ft to 4ft, mostly short period or weak energy, with only ordinary to poor conditions. There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendation.
Then, Saturday the 5th of September morning brings a nice pulse: 4ft from the NW, period stretching to 12 seconds – that’s a long period groundswell. Glassy wind, combined energy 448 – expect good surf conditions. This one has shape and power, but with that long period, it’ll be best at the river mouth, not so much if it’s breaking too straight. Sunday the 6th morning sees 3ft from the NNW, 11-second period, glassy, energy 412 – also good surf conditions. Monday the 7th morning keeps it going: 5ft from the NNW, 12-second period, glassy, energy 603 – another good option.
After that, Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th fade back to ordinary or poor conditions with weak swell and onshore wind. But then Thursday the 10th of September morning brings a last gasp: 4ft from the NW, 11-second period, glassy, energy 348 – expect good surf conditions again.
The best of the run is Friday afternoon the 28th of August with that 7ft WNW swell, and Monday morning the 31st of August with 5ft and glass – those are your standouts. The long period swells around the 5th to 7th of September are promising but less certain this far out. Crowds at Rodiles are often a factor, especially when the quality shows up. Keep that in mind.

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.
