Rusty here. Let’s break down what Roads End has cookin’ for the next couple weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a pretty slow start. There’s nothin’ worth paddlin’ out for from now through Friday, and the weekend ain’t much better. The first real chance of any sort of wave comes around Saturday the 18th of July, but even that’s a stretch.
Right now, Friday the 10th, we got a weak 2ft SW swell with a long 15-second period, but the wind is cross-onshore from the NW at 6 mph, kickin’ up chop and ruining any chance of clean surf. Combined energy is only 371, so basically no push. Water temp is nothing special for this time of year.
Saturday the 11th: swell bumps to 4ft from the WNW with a 10-second period. Wind comes onshore in the afternoon at 6 mph. It’s still marginal – combined energy hits 551 (moderate), but the surf quality is poor. Roads End is fairly consistent, but it’s just not workin’ right now. Could be a few people out, so expect some company.
Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th: waves in the 4ft to 4ft range, but cross-shore winds at 12-15 mph keep it choppy. Short period (8-9 seconds), weak energy (300s). Not worth the effort.
Tuesday the 14th: swell drops to 2ft, period stretches to 14 seconds, but wind is still cross or cross-on. Combined energy down to 242 – tiny, weak waves with no power.
Wednesday the 15th through Friday the 17th: flat and grim. Swell heights from 1ft to 3ft, wind stays messy, combined energy between 375 and 852. A couple long-period pulses (18-20 seconds) but with no height, you’re just watchin’ long waits between nothin’.
The one and only standout: Saturday the 18th of July into Sunday the 19th. Swell hits 6ft from the NW with an 8-second period. Combined energy jumps to 1066 on Saturday afternoon (strong wave energy). But – wind is cross-onshore light, so expect some chop. With the swell over 5ft, it’s too big for beginners and only for intermediates who don’t mind a bit of mess. The short period means waves will be dumpy, not that clean groundswell feel. Roads End does better with west swell, so the direction is okay but not perfect. Crowds are possible, so you might have to share.
Monday the 20th through Wednesday the 22nd holds around 5ft to 7ft, but the wind never cleans up – cross or cross-on with moderate breezes. Combined energy stays moderate to strong (600s-800s), but it’s always just marginal. By Thursday the 23rd, the swell fades, and the last week of July drops to tiny, weak waves again.
Bottom line: not a great run. The only session worth chasin’ is that Saturday the 18th, but don’t expect it to be epic. If you’re jonesin’, you might find a few, but this is a week to sit on the beach and scope it out first.
Stay patient,
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. 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.
