Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the outlook for this spell. Honestly, it’s a bit of a flat patch we’re staring at. There’s no proper swell on the cards for quite a while, so temper those expectations if you’re itching for a wave.
Looking at Crossroads (sandbar) , it’s an inconsistent setup at the best of times, and the next 16 days just don’t offer any decent surf. We’ve got a long gap here with nothing worth paddling out for. The first real window where it might just become surfable but still very ordinary is the morning of Thursday, July 9th. That morning there’s a weak ESE swell at 2ft with a period of 9 seconds, but the combined swell energy is still low (74). Onshore winds will chop it up through the afternoons most days.
Morning sessions from Thursday 9th through Sunday 12th see minimal ESE swell, never cracking 2ft, and with such a short period (8-9 seconds) it just won't have any push. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year.
Honestly, the best you can hope for are those clean, glassy mornings, like Tuesday, July 14th morning, where there’s a light breeze and the surface is flat calm – but the swell is a tiny 1ft from the ESE and the energy is weak (34). It’s a lake, not a surf break. For the next two weeks, if you aren't a beginner who just wants to float around, it’s going to be frustrating. The combination of weak swell and onshore afternoon breezes makes it a consistent no-go.
Don’t hold your breath – the second week is even quieter. Swell barely registers, with combined energy dropping into the teens on many days. This is one of those blank runs that is pretty normal for this area. Keep an eye on the charts, it tends not to be this poor forever.

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.
