The Lowdown
Right, heads up, folks. It’s Rusty here. First things first, you’re looking at a pretty bleak stretch of days ahead. The surf is going to be tiny and mostly messy for the next while. We’ve got a long gap of nothing worth paddling out for, so don’t be in a rush to get your gear wet.
The first real chance you’ll see anything that might be called a wave is on Wednesday, August 5th, at Rodiles - Main Beach. That morning, the swell is a tiny 2ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is glassy, which is a huge plus, but the energy is still weak at 73. It’s described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so don’t expect much. The afternoon sees the swell bump up to 3ft from the NW, still with glassy wind, and the energy picks up to a moderate 111. It’s better, but still nothing to write home about. The water is sitting at 70°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The rest of the first week and well into the second week is just a washout. Strong onshore winds, lumpy conditions, and very small swell. You’ll see a few days with a little more energy, like Thursday, August 6th, with a 4ft swell from the NNW, but it’s cross-on shore and messy with a combined energy of 237 (moderate). Not worth the hassle.
The pick of the whole period, and it’s not saying much, is the morning of Wednesday, August 5th. The clean, glassy conditions at Rodiles - Main Beach with that tiny NW swell might give you a few fun, if small, waves. It’s a fairly exposed spot, and the optimum swell direction is NW, so this is on the money. Crowds are likely here, so you won’t be alone.
After that, things dry up completely. There’s a huge gap of days with no real recommendations until we get to Sunday, August 16th. The morning of the 16th offers a tiny 1ft glassy swell from the NW, with weak energy at 67. Again, “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.
Honestly, for the next two weeks, the setup is more interesting for a kiteboarder than a paddle surfer. The combination of consistent onshore wind and small, weak swell is a recipe for frustration. Keep the board waxed, but leave it in the car.
Rusty.

Information about the Rodiles - Main Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Rodiles - Main Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Rodiles - Main Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 - Main Beach 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.
