Table - best surf conditions forecast for Roads End over the next 16 days.
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what Roads End has cooking for the next couple of weeks. I'll be straight with you: it's a lean run, so patience is the name of the game.
The first surfable moment is Wednesday morning, July 8th. We've got a 2ft swell from the SW with a super-long 18-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 602. The wind is a cross-shore from the NNW at 9 mph, so it won't be glassy, but not a total mess either. You'll see a few other heads in the water sometimes, and the break is fairly consistent. That long period groundswell can give some nice lines here, but it's small.
Wednesday afternoon and into Thursday the 9th stay small, around 2-3ft, with a bit of chop from the breeze. Friday the 10th is a total washout with poor surf and cross-onshore winds. Saturday the 11th sees the swell push to 5-5ft from the WNW, but with a short 9-10 second period, making it a bit fat and weak.
Honestly, the entire first week is a struggle. There's a big gap with no good options from Thursday afternoon, July 9th, all the way until Tuesday the 15th. On the morning of Wednesday, July 15th, we get a 4ft swell from the WNW with a period of 11 seconds. Not bad, but the wind is a moderate cross-shore at 12-16 mph kicking up a chop. The energy is moderate (691-692), but conditions are just "okay."
The one window that stands out is the morning of Saturday, July 18th. The swell is only 3ft from the WNW with a long 16-second period, and the wind is a light cross-onshore from the NW at 6 mph. Clean surface. The energy is moderate and climbing (838). That afternoon the swell jumps to 7ft from the NNW, but with a short 8-second period and a moderate cross-shore wind. Energy is strong at 1025, but with that short period, a 7ft wave is for experts only; this setup might be more suited for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, the best bet of the whole outlook is that Saturday morning, July 18th. The light wind and long period groundswell from the WNW (which is the optimum direction) should give the cleanest, best-shaped waves we'll see. The rest of the second week is back to unexciting 4-5ft NW swells with moderate cross-shore winds.
Circle Saturday morning, July 18th on your calendar for Roads End. It's the one and only highlight in an otherwise quiet forecast.
Rusty.

Information about the Roads End Surf forecast

A general guide to surfing at Roads End can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
