The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about the next couple of weeks. Honestly, the surf gods aren’t smiling on us much. We’ve got a stretch of small, junky swell and a lot of onshore or cross-shore wind messing things up. It’s gonna take some patience.
We’re starting off with pretty much nothing. Sunday and Monday are flat and poor. A storm system keeps throwing down showers and the wind is just chopping up the weak little lines. Wave energy is pitiful, around 21 to 52, so you’re not missing anything.
There is a tiny bump on Tuesday the 4th, with the swell pushing to 4ft, but the period drops to a junky 5 seconds and the cross-shore wind creates a mess. Not worth a paddle. The rest of that week stays poor. We get those little 2ft to 3ft waves, and the cross-onshore winds just make it lumpy. The energy readings are still in the weak range, mostly in the 20s, 30s, and 40s.
Finally, on Saturday the 8th, we see a change, but it’s not the good kind. The swell picks up slightly, around 4ft, and for the first time the energy climbs into the moderate territory, hitting 208. But the wind is straight onshore, blowing out any chance of a clean wave. It’s a frustrating combo.
The whole next week remains a waiting game. There are tiny windows late in the day on the 10th, and again on the 14th and 15th, where things look just slightly less terrible, but the swell direction shifts to the ENE and the energy, while picking up at times, is still not producing anything rideable with the onshore winds. We’re stuck with poor surf conditions and scores of zero almost every day.
So, the bottom line: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. It’s a bleak run. We’re talking about a week of just junk with nothing worth your time. The conditions are more suited to sitting on the beach and watching the wind chop than to actually paddling out. It can’t stay this bad forever, though. Forecasts change. Keep an eye on it.

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.
