The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. Roads End (beach and reef) is looking at a tough run. The water’s a freezing 54°, which is 5° colder than average for this time of year—very unusual, so you’re gonna need a thick suit and booties. The swell on Thursday morning is 4ft out of the NW with a short 8-second period, and the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s messy.
That Thursday morning is poor, and it doesn’t get better through Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday. The swell drops to 1ft by Tuesday the 11th with a clean 14-second period from the SW, but the energy is low and the wind is still cross-shore, so it’s not worth the paddle.
There’s a gap from the 6th all the way through to the 18th with no real options. The only flicker of something decent is on Tuesday the 18th. That morning, we get a 3ft swell from the west with a solid 14-second period, strong energy, and the wind is glassy—dead calm. That’s the one standout. The afternoon looks even better with 4ft, 13 seconds, and a clean cross-off breeze. This is a groundswell, and at Roads End, that long period could mean some nice, lined-up waves, though it might be a bit straight at the beach. Still, with glassy conditions, it’s the best on offer by a long shot.
After that, Wednesday the 19th sees a 4ft west swell with 12-second period, but the cross-onshore wind (6 mph) messes it up. Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st fade back to small, weak swells with cross-shore winds.
So, if you’ve got patience, hold out for Tuesday the 18th. That’s the call. Everything else is a bust. Keep an eye on the forecasts—things can change, but it’s been a rough stretch.

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. If you surf the same spot (Roads End) 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 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.
