Alright, let's get the local perspective on this stretch. I'll level with you – Crossroads (sandbar) is looking like a ghost town for the next two weeks. There's no surf on the table right now, and the charts are showing a long, quiet slog of poor conditions. This spot is inconsistent, so slow spells are just part of the deal.
We're staring at a real dry period. Kicking off on Thursday afternoon, July 2nd, there's a weak 3ft swell from the ENE with a short period of 8 seconds, but the onshore wind is just trashing it. The combined wave energy is a measly 116. The water's at 85°, which is about 2° warmer than usual – nothing extreme, just a bit warm for the season.
That Thursday is a complete no-go. Friday the 3rd and Saturday the 4th are barely any different. Saturday morning, July 4th, you might see a tiny 1ft swell from the ESE. The wind goes glassy, which is the one real bright spot in this whole forecast, but the swell is just too small to do anything with. It's surfable, but only just. After that, it's back to poor conditions day after day.
There's a little spike in energy on the 10th and 11th of July, with the combined energy hitting 131, but the swell stays skinny and the wind stays messy. We've got a few mornings with clean offshore flow (the 7th, 8th, 9th, 11th, and 12th), but the swell never shows up to meet it. The morning of the 14th is glassy again, but with waves around 2ft, it's a paddle, not a session.
So, honestly? There's nothing here that stands out. If you're a total beginner looking for the tiniest, cleanest bump, maybe that Saturday the 4th or the morning of the 14th is your only shot, but don't expect any real waves. For everyone else, this is a two-week gap. It’s the kind of blank run that happens around here when the spot is this inconsistent. Stick the board in the rack and wait for the forecast to turn.

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.
