Conditions at Rodiles in January
January: Deep-Winter Peak at Rodiles
January is the heart of the Asturian winter. The average swell height sits at around 6ft (1.8m), with an average period of 12.6 seconds, and the wave rose shows a clear signal from the northwest: NW swell is the dominant energy, with NNW and WNW adding plenty of size. This is exactly what Rodiles wants. A large share of the surf falls in the 3-8ft (1-2.5m) range, and the period is strong enough to make the sandbar hold shape. Ideal offshore winds blow 59% of the time, well above the annual average, which is why this is one of the best months of the year. The combination of strong North Atlantic lows and a positive NAO often lines up multiple swell trains for the beach. Air temperatures average 9°C, water temperature is 13.5°C, and the region sees about 3.05mm/day of rain, so bring the winter rubber and pick the S/SSW/SW wind days.
