The Lowdown
Right then, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Rodiles - Main Beach has in store for us.
To be straight with you, the next two weeks are looking pretty bleak for a proper surf. This is a classic late-summer flat spell for the area, and it’s one of those runs where you’d be better off finding something else to do for a while.
The first week is a write-off. We’ve got tiny, weak swell—barely a ripple. The wave energy is low, mostly under 100, with the best of a bad lot being a measly 119 on Thursday the 13th. And even then, it’s small. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 72°F, but that’s the only good news. From the 8th right through to the 21st, the surf is poor—just small, messy lines with onshore or cross-onshore winds messing up what little is there. There are a few glassy mornings, but with waves only 1ft to 2ft, it's not worth wetting the suit.
Then, on the morning of Saturday the 22nd of August, we finally get a glimmer. A clean, glassy morning with a 4ft NW swell and moderate energy (207). It’s surfable, but still very ordinary. The real promise comes the next day: Sunday the 23rd of August. That morning, we’ve got a solid 8ft NW groundswell rolling in, with a period of 11 seconds and a combined energy reading of 1211. That’s proper power. The wind is dead calm—glassy as a mirror. However, this is a big swell, over 8ft, so it’s really only for experienced surfers. At this size, and with a beach break, the long-period NW swell might be a bit too straight for good shape, but if the banks are right, it could be a standout session. The afternoon looks to get chopped by an onshore breeze, so your window is that morning. Crowds are likely at Rodiles when it gets good, so get in early.
So, the long and short of it: a long dry spell, then a potentially cracking Sunday morning on the 23rd for the experts. Don’t hold your breath for the rest.
Rusty.
