Crossroads Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here, and we’re lookin’ at the next 16 days for Crossroads. Got to be straight with you: this whole stretch is a flat, quiet one. Don’t expect much.

Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th? Forget it. We got some weak knee-high swell pushin’ from the ENE, around 4 to 4 ft, but the period is super short – 7 to 8 seconds. That’s gutless, crumbly surf. Winds are onshore or cross-onshore at 9 to 12 mph, so it’s choppy and messy. Total weak energy (135 to 187). Just poor.

Thursday the 10th drops even smaller, down to 2 to 3 ft. Combined energy falls to 60 to 85. Still cross or cross-onshore wind. Still poor. No reason to paddle out.

Friday morning the 11th gives us a brief flicker. Tiny 1 ft swell from the ESE, period only 8 seconds, but we get light cross-offshore wind. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions”. It’ll be clean, but it’s barely ankle-high. Combined energy is just 40. If you’re desperate, you might get a few little rollers, but that’s it.

Saturday the 12th morning is glassy with a light westerly breeze, but the swell is tiny at 1 ft and period 7 seconds. Energy a lowly 26. It’s flat. Sunday the 13th? Same sad story – more tiny surf with poor conditions.

Monday the 14th morning has another clean window: 2 ft from the ESE, period 9 seconds, with light cross-offshore wind. Combined energy 45. Clean but tiny. The rest of that week and into the next is mostly glassy mornings with flat waves or onshore junk.

Even when we get to the second week – around the 19th and 20th – we see a few more “surfable but ordinary” tags. Swell is still tiny (up to 2 ft) from the ENE or NE, with a sad period of 6 to 7 seconds, but the wind finally turns offshore or cross-offshore on Saturday morning the 19th and Sunday morning the 20th. Those two mornings are the best on offer – and I mean *best* in this context. Beginners or folks just wanting to get wet might find a few clean little knee-high peelers. But for anyone else? It’s a flat spell.

Bottom line: this 16-day outlook is a quiet one. Combined swell energy never leaves weak (always under 100). No standout swells, no punchy groundswell. Just small, short-period slop with a couple of clean windows. Crossroads is an exposed sandbar that’s rarely breaking with any size, and inconsistent – that fits. This kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area. Don’t sweat it, forecasts can shift, and it won’t stay poor forever.

Rusty out.
