Rodiles - Main Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Rodiles – Main Beach has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. We've got a bit of everything coming, from glassy mornings to a solid end-of-period pulse, so let's break it down.

This stretch kicks off with a clean little session on Sunday the 30th of August. The morning sees a nice 4ft NW swell with a light cross-offshore breeze, so the waves should be looking tidy. The water's sitting at 71°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nice for a longer session. The combined energy is moderate at 276, but it's the quality of the conditions that make this a good start.

Monday the 31st is where things start to get interesting. The morning is looking like a standout: 6ft of NW groundswell with a 10-second period, and the wind is glassy – dead calm. The energy is ramping up into the moderate-to-strong range at 636. This is clean, punchy surf for the intermediate crowd. If you can get out there for a dawny, do it. The afternoon turns a bit onshore, so the window is the morning.

After that, Tuesday the 1st of September has a small but glassy 4ft NW swell in the morning, but the energy drops right off. It's a bit of a lull until we get to Friday the 4th of September. That morning, we see a small return of 3ft NW swell with glassy conditions, but the energy is weak at 247. It's surfable, but nothing to write home about.

Now, here's where the real fire comes in. The tail end of the forecast is the winner. Wednesday the 9th of September morning is a serious standout: 8ft of NNW groundswell with an 11-second period and clean cross-offshore wind. The combined swell energy is strong at 1288. This is a proper swell, with good power and shape. It's getting up there in size though – over 8ft, so this one is for the experienced crew only. The afternoon of the 9th goes glassy with a still-juicy 6ft NNW swell at 684 energy, making it another excellent window.

Sunday the 13th of September morning also looks promising. It's a little smaller at 4ft, but that's a nice long 14-second period groundswell, glassy conditions, and strong energy at 796. This will be smooth, lined-up waves at the point. Then Monday the 14th of September morning keeps the run going with 6ft NW, glassy, and 979 energy. Another top-tier morning.

So, to wrap it up: the best on offer are definitely the Wednesday the 9th morning, with that big, clean NW swell and the Sunday the 13th morning with its long-period glass. The Monday the 31st morning is also a great one. Get on it.

Rusty.
