Table - best surf conditions forecast for Rodiles - Main Beach over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way. The next 16 days are a mixed bag, but we’ve got a couple of windows that’ll get your blood pumping.
The Overall Pattern
First up, we’re staring down a long, slow stretch. The first real chance at a surf comes on Tuesday afternoon, the 28th of July, but it’s a weak one. We’ve got a small 2ft swell from the NW with a 10-second period, but the wind is on it, blowing from the ENE at 6 mph. The water is sitting at 69°F, which is about normal for this time of year, and the combined energy is a modest 175. Honestly, it’s not worth paddling out for. The conditions are poor.
The Quiet Period
From Wednesday the 29th all the way through to Saturday the 8th of August, it’s a dead zone. There are small pulses of swell, but nothing with any real grunt. The wind is all over the place, and the wave quality is described as “poor surf conditions” or “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” You’d be wasting your time. The combined energy values are mostly in the double digits, a sure sign of weak energy. This is a proper blank run.
The First Glimmer of Hope
Things start to look a little more interesting on Sunday the 9th of August. We get a more promising long-period groundswell from the NW, with a 12-second period and a combined energy of 151. The morning session sees a 2ft swell with a cross-offshore wind from the W at 9 mph, which should keep it clean. The afternoon pushes the swell up to 3ft with a similar clean wind, but the energy climbs to 184. It’s still small, but it’s a step in the right direction.
The Standout Window
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The real standout falls on Tuesday the 11th of August. The morning session is the pick of the entire forecast. We’ve got a solid 8ft swell from the NW, with a long 11-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 1686, signaling strong wave energy. The wind is a light cross-on from the E at just 3 mph, which is close to ideal. This is a proper groundswell with plenty of grunt. The only downside is that with a swell over 8ft, it’s strictly for experienced surfers. It’s going to be powerful, and the long period means it could be a bit tricky at the beach break, but for the right crew, it’s a cracker. The afternoon on the 11th is still solid with a 6ft swell, but the wind turns onshore, so definitely get your session in the morning.
The Wrap Up
The 12th of August sees a drop back to 3ft, but with glassy conditions in the afternoon from a light NE wind. It’s surfable, but nothing special. So, mark your calendars for the 11th of August – that’s the one to chase. The rest of the time, you’re better off waxing the longboard or just enjoying the beach.
Rusty, signing off.
