It's the best wave of Asturias. The tube is easier than at Mundaka. Doesn't hold more than 2,5 m or 3m. The take off zone is small so smile to the locals and pray ! Check the others peaks on the right side of the bay; they are also pretty good.
Overview
Atmosphere
OK, you won't be alone here but it is worth a visit !
General
It's perfect for a trip with friends or your family. The atmosphere is terrific very early in the morning.
Wasn't perfect for Rodiles and bit of a crowd gathered (from 5 when I paddled out to 10 after a bit)... but after half a year of beach break I got the two best lefts of my life. At first had to wait for leftovers... then it got super More...
How do you usually paddle into the peak? From the right or from the left side of the river? Thx!

Localism
The problem with Rodiles is that localisms think that they have the best wave in the world.
It is not a bad wave, but any way, there are much better waves. Nothing to do with Mundaka for example. Every time I see some kind of comparison sincerelly it makes me laugh at.
Most of the localisms are not really good at surfing, so they need doing things like this.

rodiles rules
Your report on Asturias is basically ok except for Rodiles left.
Do a little research and you will find out that rodiles is not just the best wave in Asturias
And the second best of Spain right after mundaca , but definitely one of the top ten waves in Europe.
3 stars is an insult to a world class hollow left for the experienced tube rider.
