Rodiles - Main Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking down at Rodiles. That’s Rodiles - Main Beach we’re talking about, set up for a NW swell. Water’s sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, at 71°F.

Right now, we’re coming off a bit of a flat spell. The first real surf that’s worth paddling out for isn’t until Sunday the 30th in the morning. It’s not huge – about 5ft from the NW, with a 9-second period, so it’s a little choppy but the wind is clean with a light cross-off breeze. The combined energy is getting going at 334, so there’s some push. It’s a fair start but nothing to write home about.

The standout of the whole outlook has to be Monday the 31st in the morning. Glassy conditions, dead calm, with a clean 5ft NW swell running on a 10-second period. That’s good energy – 546 in the combined reading – and with those light offshores, the waves should be lined up nicely for an intermediate. Not too big, not too small. Perfect clean conditions for a solid session.

Tuesday the 1st sees the swell drop back to 4ft in the morning, still glassy but the energy is only sitting at 233. It’s ordinary but rideable. Then we hit a real dry spell from the 2nd right through to the 4th, with tiny surf and poor conditions. A few 2ft to 2ft days, not worth suiting up for.

Now, Friday the 4th in the morning throws in a chunky 5ft swell from the NNW, and a long 13-second period. The combined energy jumps to 688, which is significant, but the wind is cross-on light, so it’s a bit messy. That long period means the waves will be fat and straight at a beach break like Rodiles – better for a reef or point, but there’s still some punch for experienced surfers.

Saturday the 5th afternoon brings another pulse – 5ft from the NNW, 13 seconds, energy at 843 – strong, but the wind is cross-on and choppy. Not clean. It’ll be a handful.

The next real bright spot is Monday the 7th morning: 4ft NW, 11-second period, glassy conditions, energy at 300. Clean, lined up, and relaxed. A good session for anyone.

And then finally, Saturday the 12th morning and Sunday the 13th morning both offer clean conditions. The 13th morning is the pick: 4ft from the NNW, a long 13-second period, glassy, and combined energy at 429. That’s a very promising morning, best for the second week, though we’re still a ways out so don’t lock it in just yet.

Overall, Monday the 31st morning is your top bet for clean, fun surf. Sunday the 13th morning is the long-range one to keep an eye on.

Rusty.
