The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s see what’s in the water for the next couple of weeks.
We’re starting off a bit quiet. The first surf we see is Thursday afternoon, 10 September, but it’s nothing to shout about. Roads End has a 2ft swell out of the SW, with a long 17-second period, but that cross-shore wind from the N at 12 mph is ruining any chance of clean waves. Water temp is 57°, a bit colder than normal. There’s moderate energy (491), but it’s a skip.
Now, Friday morning, 11 September – this is the one. A solid 6ft swell from the NW, 9-second period, and the wind is glassy, blowing offshore from the W at just 3 mph. That’s a dream start to the day. The swell energy is strong (852) and it’s looking prime. This is the standout window, but at 6ft, it’s a bit much for beginners.
Friday afternoon drops off with a cross-on breeze, and Saturday through Sunday is messy with choppy, poor conditions and dropping swell. Monday and Tuesday are pretty poor with short-period, weak swell and cross-shore winds.
We get another chance on Thursday afternoon, 17 September, with a clean 4ft NW swell under glassy conditions and a light WNW breeze. That’ll be a fun, clean session for smaller boards.
Looking further out, there’s a solid pulse around 22 and 23 September. Tuesday the 22nd shows 6ft from the NNW, but the period is only 7 seconds and winds are cross-shore. Then Wednesday morning, 23 September, it jumps to 8ft from the NW with a 9-second period – that’s over 8ft, so for experts only. The energy is very high (1074). The wind is light and cross-shore, so it could be powerful and raw. That Wednesday is one for the experienced crew to watch.
After that, it fades into smaller NW swell and lighter winds through the end of September, nothing that really stands out like that Friday or Wednesday.
So, best bet: Friday morning, 11 September – glassy, solid 6ft NW swell. For the big wave crew, circle Wednesday morning, 23 September. Roads End can get a crowd on good days, so expect company.
Rusty.

Information about the Roads End Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Roads End provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Roads End can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Roads End 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.

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 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. 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.
