Intermediate : Nothing to surf today. Rest those arms.
Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Often considered the best wave in Asturias — a rivermouth left that at times recalls Mundaka: long, fast, tubular and highly tide-dependent. Draws a crowd when it's firing, making for a competitive lineup.
Autumn and winter deliver the best conditions, with long powerful swells from the north.
Good level required. You can stand, paddle and read a peak. When it fires, better know what you're doing.
Easy beach access, parking usually nearby. Ask locally about seasonal currents.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
Rodiles usually works best around mid-falling. The tide shapes the sandbanks and the depth over the reef, so check the day's tide times before your session.
Rodiles is rather recommended for intermediate surfers. If you're a beginner, prefer a surf school, a small swell and a suitable tide, or look for a more sheltered nearby spot.
The ideal wind at Rodiles comes broadly from South: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Rodiles, you can also check conditions at Xagó, Salinas, Bayas. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
