The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking for Roads End over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m looking at this run and it’s a bit of a flat spell for the most part. We’ve got a lot of small, messy swell with cross or cross-onshore winds that just don’t want to play ball. The water is sitting at 55°F, which is 4°F colder than it should be for this time of year – that’s a proper chilly anomaly, so you’ll want a good thick steamer.
The first real chance to get wet isn’t until Monday, July 20th. We’ve got a 5ft NW swell coming in, but it’s a short-period 8 seconds with a cross-on NW breeze. The energy is moderate (583), but the conditions are marginal. It’s not going to be clean, and the tide could throw a spanner in the works. Tuesday the 21st drops right off to tiny 2ft SW groundswell, but the period jumps to 16 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell, which at a beach and reef setup like Roads End can be a bit tricky – it might close out or be too straight. Still, with light cross-shore winds, it’s worth a look if you’re desperate.
We’ve got a gap of nothing really worth recommending from Wednesday the 22nd through to Thursday the 30th of July. The swell stays small, mostly under 3ft, and the wind stays onshore or cross. The energy is weak to moderate (values between 170 and 683), but the quality is poor. There’s a brief pulse on Friday the 24th with a 5ft NW swell (9 sec) and moderate energy (617), but it’s cross-on again.
The first proper standout doesn’t come until Sunday, August 2nd. That morning, we’ve got a 5ft NW swell, with a 10-second period, and moderate energy (610). The wind is light cross-onshore from the SW, which is borderline, but it’s the best looking swell we’ve had in the whole window. It’s still a bit marginal, but it’s the best on offer. After that, Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th drop back to poor conditions with onshore winds.
So, the top pick: Sunday, August 2nd at Roads End. It’s the biggest and most consistent swell in the whole period, with 5ft from the NW. The wind isn’t perfect, but it’s light, and the swell has enough energy to break. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only real window of fun. The break is fairly consistent, so you’ll get waves, but expect it to be a bit crowded – it’s a popular spot when there’s a pulse.
Rusty.

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 Roads End 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.
