The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, looking at the same picture for Roads End but in feet and miles per hour.
We’re starting slow. The first real surf worth mentioning is on Wednesday the 11th. The water is running at 57°F, which is about 2°F colder than normal for this time of year – you’ll want a hood.
Wednesday morning shows a 6ft NW swell, but the wind is cross-onshore from the NNW at only 3 mph. The wave energy is moderate (852), but the period is short at 9 seconds, so it’s a bit lumpy. It’s there if you’re desperate, but don’t get your hopes up.
The real standout, the gem of this forecast, is Saturday afternoon the 14th. The swell drops to about 3ft from the SW, but the wind goes dead calm, glassy, from the SSE at just 3 mph. The period stretches out to 14 seconds, giving it real weight for the size. The energy is moderate at 504. This is the cleanest, most beautiful window in the whole 16 days. No crowds, just clean lines. Bring your log.
After that, it dries up fast. The following week is all wind-affected, messy surf. Around the 21st and 22nd of September, a bigger swell arrives – up to 8ft from the NNW on Tuesday the 22nd morning – but it’s paired with a strong cross-shore wind at 12 mph. The period stays short, making it a choppy, blown-out mess. That’s more of a kite-surfing day than a surfer’s session.
The final few days fade out with small, weak swells and cross-shore winds. So, listen to me: marked your calendar for that Saturday the 14th afternoon. That’s the one.

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.
