The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down Road K.
First up, the next week is a total bust. From Monday the 10th right through to Sunday the 16th, there’s nothin’ worth paddlin’ for. Tiny little 0.5 ft to 2 ft dribble, mostly from the south, with periods barely cracking 5 seconds. That’s not surf, that’s a ripple. Winds are all over the place, mostly cross-onshore and choppy. Don’t even wax your board.
Then Monday the 17th, it’s game on. A solid SSW pulse hits 6 ft with a 7-second period, and the wave energy is moderate to strong (340 in the morning, 603 in the afternoon). The wind is offshore from the NNW, cleanin’ it up real nice. That’s the one to chase. The water’s at 76°F, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. 6 ft is not for beginners, that’s for folks who know what they’re doin’. The morning is the pick, but the arvo stays clean with a fresh 30 km/h offshore breeze.
Tuesday the 18th drops to 3 ft, still some energy (116) but ordinary, and the wind goes cross-onshore in the arvo. After that, the rest of the run into the second week fades. A tiny 2 ft SE groundswell on Wednesday the 19th with a long 12-second period, but it’s weak and the wind is onshore by the arvo. From the 20th onward, it’s just messy, windy, and small.
So, bottom line: Road K is a sandbar that breaks often, but it’s dead for a week. The only real standout is Monday the 17th – morning session, 6 ft SSW, offshore NNW wind, clean. That’s your best shot in the next 16 days. Don’t miss it.
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.
