Road K Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Road K over the next couple of weeks.

To be honest, it’s a pretty bleak stretch to start with. We’ve got a solid week of tiny, weak waves and windy conditions that just won’t let up. The first real surfable day doesn’t show up until Saturday morning, the 6th, but even then it’s only 3 ft from the ENE with a short, weak 6-second period and a combined energy of just (72). It’s clean with a moderate offshore breeze, but that’s about the only positive. The water temp is sitting at 71°, which is about average for this time of year.

Sunday the 7th morning is similar – clean, offshore winds, but the swell is only 2 ft from the East. It’s surfable in the sense you can get a float, but there’s no power behind it. The next standout... well, there isn’t one. The swell tries to kick up a bit on the 10th of September, hitting 6 ft from the SSW, but that comes with a nasty 30 km/h cross-breeze and a combined energy of (333). The period is just 7 seconds, so it’s going to be lumpy, messy, and a real chore. That’s expert territory due to the size and wind, not a fun paddle.

From there, the rest of the second week is a mix of small, weak swells and strong winds. The wind looks offshore or cross-off a few times, like on the 11th and 12th, but the waves are tiny – 1 ft to 2 ft. The combined energy barely cracks 100. It’s a long stretch of nothing to write home about. There’s even a period of swell from the SE with a 13-second period on the 17th, but it’s only 1 ft, so that long period just means long waits for a knee-high wave.

Honestly, if you’re looking for a real session, this isn’t the window. With the wind and chop on the bigger days, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Keep an eye on the forecast, though – it tends not to stay this flat forever.

Rusty.
