The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Crossroads is serving up over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be honest, it’s a tough outlook.
We start off Wednesday, September 2nd, and it’s pretty grim. Storm risks and onshore winds plague the first several days. Water temp is nothing special, about normal for September. Swells are tiny, mostly under 3 feet, and when there is a little bump, the wind is on it or cross-onshore, making everything choppy and ugly. No day in the first week is worth getting wet for.
The only half-decent moment comes on Thursday, September 10th. The morning goes glassy with a light offshore breeze from the southwest. But the swell is tiny, only about 2 feet from the east-northeast at around 10 seconds, and very weak on energy. It’s surfable, but just barely – ordinary waves in very ordinary conditions. This is an inconsistent sandbar break, and you might see a few others out there, so don’t expect a secret session, but don’t expect much of a wave either.
After that, things go flat. The second week brings clean winds at times – glassy mornings and light offshores – but the swell completely vanishes. Waves barely reach 1 feet, and the energy drops to near nothing. You could have perfect conditions, but there’s nothing to ride. That’s a long dry spell with no real surf.
For beginners or experts, there’s absolutely nothing doing across the whole 16-day window. Honestly, the strongest feature of this forecast is the calm wind. This beach setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing with these tiny, weak swells.
Rusty, out.

Information about the Crossroads Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Crossroads provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Crossroads can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Crossroads surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Crossroads) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Crossroads may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
