The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer at Road K over the next sixteen days.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a bleak start. The first ten days or so are a real struggle. We’ve got some tiny, weak swell pushing in, but the wind is just all over the place, mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the energy is pathetic (around 44). The water is a touch warmer than normal at 72°, but that’s the only good news. Honestly, for the first week, you’re looking at flat, blown-out, or just plain messy conditions. There’s a solid gap with no real recommendations until we get past the middle of the month.
Late on Friday the 11th, there’s a flicker of hope. The morning shows a little 3ft swell from the SSW with a moderate offshore breeze from the NNW. It’s clean, but tiny, with only 73 units of combined energy. It’s surfable, but nothing to get excited about.
The first real standout, and honestly the only one worth circling on the calendar, is the morning of Friday the 18th of September. We get a bump in energy to 116, with a 4ft swell from the SW. The wind is a gentle offshore from the NNE, so it should be clean. Now, the swell period is only 5 seconds, so it’s short-period windswell, nothing groundswell about it, but for an exposed sandbar like Road K, that’s what you get and it’s better than flat. Because it’s a sandbar, the short period isn't a deal-breaker. Expect some rippy conditions but the clean wind is a big plus.
After that, it fades back into small, clean but weak surf. The weekend of the 20th and 21st is back to tiny 1ft bumps with onshore or cross-onshore wind. Not great.
So, to sum it up: there’s only one day that has a pulse. If you’re keen, point your board at Road K on the morning of Friday the 18th. It’s not going to be epic, but for clean, rideable waves in a long flat spell, it’s your best bet. The rest is a write-off for a while.
Rusty.

Information about the Road K Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Road K provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Road K can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Road K 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 (Road K) 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 Road K 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.
Road K is 28 km (17 miles) from Mastic. If you plan a vacation in Long Island New York, look for hotels and other accommodation in Mastic. Mastic has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
