Rodiles - Main Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with the rundown for Rodiles – Main Beach.

Right, looking at the next couple of weeks, we've got a bit of a slow start before things get interesting. The first few days are a write-off, honestly. Monday and Tuesday the 14th and 15th just don't have the energy, with swell barely making it past 2ft and the wind messing things up. Wednesday the 16th sees a bit more push with 3ft to 4ft from the NW, but that cross-onshore breeze is going to make it a mess. You'd be battling bumps and ripples.

But keep an eye on Thursday morning, the 17th. That's where we get our first real window. The wind goes glassy – dead calm, offshore from the WSW – and we've got a clean 4ft NW swell with a solid 11-second period and moderate energy (462). That's your pick for the week. Rodiles (Spain) will be clean, offering up some fun lines for the intermediates. Water temp is sitting at 70°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year.
Friday the 18th morning stays clean with a cross-offshore breeze and similar 4ft NW swell, but the afternoon is where it gets serious. A big jump to 8ft from the NNW with a very long 16-second period and very strong wave energy (2787). That one is for the experts only, and the onshore wind will be a factor, so be careful. The swell direction and long period suggest the river mouth might offer a better shape.

After that, Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th get blown out again by strong easterly winds, chopping up a solid 6ft to 7ft swell. Not worth the paddle.

Moving into the second week, the outlook gets quieter but cleaner. Monday morning the 21st is another glassy dawn with a consistent 4ft NNW groundswell (559) and a 12-second period, but the wind goes onshore in the afternoon. Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd are small, with the swell dropping to 2ft. Thursday the 24th is flat.

Then, another standout for the second week: Friday morning the 25th. The wind goes completely calm, glassy, with a clean 4ft NW swell coming in with a long 12-second period (303). A perfect, empty-looking morning for a longboard or a fish. After that, through to the 29th, it drops back to tiny, knee-high leftovers with mostly glassy mornings but not enough power for a proper session.

So to wrap it up – the best of the best is Thursday morning the 17th for the combo of glass and shoulder-high swell. The Friday morning the 25th is your second-week bet, with clean but smaller conditions. Expect some crowds at the peak on those days, especially for the first standout.
