Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gonna be a bit of a mixed bag at Roads End over the next couple of weeks, so let's get into it.
The outlook starts off pretty flat and unappealing. Friday, July 3rd through Tuesday, July 7th is a write-off – we’re looking at weak, short-period swell coming from the WNW, mostly in the 1.0 to 4 ft range, with a constant cross or cross-onshore breeze messing things up. The combined swell energy is weak to moderate (around 359 to 640), and the wind just chops everything up. Not worth paddling out.
Things get slightly more interesting starting Wednesday morning, July 8th. We finally see a bit of glass. The wind flips to a light onshore from the WSW, and while the swell is only 2 ft, it's a nice long-period 18-second groundswell from the SW. The combined energy is moderate (568). This is a rare window of decent shape, though that energy is still modest. The crowd factor at Roads End can be an issue, so if you’re out there Wednesday morning, you’ll have company.
Thursday, July 9th, sees the swell bump up to 5 to 6 ft from the NW with a 10-second period, and combined energy climbing to 751-737. It’s moderate and could offer some fun runners, but the moderate cross-shore wind makes it choppy. It stays marginal.
We then hit another big lull from Friday, July 10th through Tuesday, July 14th. The swell drops right back down to tiny 2 to 5 ft stuff, short period, and the wind is inconsistent – mostly cross or cross-onshore. Combined energy is low (316-447). Just a big gap of nothing happening.
Now, the best bet on offer, and it’s a proper standout, rolls into the second week. Wednesday, July 15th through Friday, July 17th. We get a solid pulse of NW groundswell bumping up to 6 to 7 ft, with a period of 7-9 seconds. The combined energy gets strong, reaching four-digit figures – 805 to 1035. This is proper surf for experienced surfers, not for beginners at over 8 ft on some days, so watch the size. The catch is the wind remains moderate cross or cross-onshore, so it’ll be a little lumpy, but the energy is there. Friday morning, July 17th, looks the pick with a 7 ft NW swell and moderate energy (1001). The crowd factor will be heavy here, as it’s a consistent, exposed break.
All in all, the first week is a struggle, but that second week pulse has some real grunt. 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.
