The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s shaking at Rodiles - Main Beach.
Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are a bit of a grind. We’ve got a long stretch of small, gutless swell and tricky wind. You’re going to be waiting for quite a few days after the start of the forecast before there’s anything worth getting wet for. After a few days of flat, weak conditions, there’s a small window of opportunity.
The water is sitting at 71°, which is about a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nice, but that’s about the only thing that’s working in our favour early on.
From Thursday the 6th through to Saturday the 8th, it’s a write-off. We’re talking tiny waves, 0.7ft to 3ft, mostly from the NNW with a short period of 5 to 8 seconds. The wind is a mess – cross-on or onshore, so it’s all chopped up. No point even looking at it.
Then, on Sunday the 9th, we get a little life. The morning is the pick of the whole early run. We’ll see a 2ft NNW swell with a period of 10 seconds and a clean cross-off wind from the WNW. The combined wave energy is moderate at 101. It’s surfable, but ordinary. You’ll find a few fun ones if you’re desperate.
The next real standout doesn’t come until much later. Mark your calendar for Tuesday, the 18th of August. The morning session is the one to aim for. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the NW, period is 8 seconds, and the wind is glassy – dead calm. The energy jumps up to a solid moderate 172. It’ll be small but clean, perfect for a longboard or a funboard. The crowd factor is worth mentioning: it’s likely to be busy, so get out there early if you want a peak to yourself.
That afternoon, the wind swings ENE and cranks up to 12 mph, the swell jumps to 5ft but it’s onshore and messy. Not your session.
The rest of the run into the 21st is a mix of tiny 2ft to 3ft surf, with a few glassy mornings, but nothing that’s going to blow your mind. The 20th has a bit of energy (121) but the wind is cross-on, so it’s all a bit scrappy.
Friday the 21st morning is glassy with 3ft, but the period is a short 5 seconds, so expect weak, wobbly lines.
So, bottom line: if you’ve got a board that paddles easy, make the most of the morning of Tuesday the 18th. It’s the cleanest, most promising window in a pretty flat run. The rest of the time, you’re better off waiting for the next forecast update.
Rusty.
