The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the forecast for Roads End. First thing I gotta tell you, the water is 54° right now, and that’s a solid 5° colder than it should be for this time of year. That’s not just a little chilly, that’s a proper winter wetsuit smash to the face.
Now, for the actual surf… it’s a tough stretch. The first real recommendation doesn’t even kick off until Monday the 4th of August, and even then it’s a struggle. The whole week is a battle with cross-shore winds. On Monday the 4th, we’ve got a 5ft NW swell at 7 seconds, but the wind is a gentle cross-shore, so it’s not totally blown out, just a little chopped. The wave energy is weak, sitting at (305), so it’s a small, weak little wave. Tuesday the 5th is similar, 5ft but cross-onshore, which makes it choppy. Not great.
There’s a real gap here. The whole first week is marginal at best, with scores of 0 or 1. The winds are nearly always cross or cross-on, and the swell is weak and short-period. It’s the kind of week you look at the forecast, then just go back to bed.
The real flicker of hope, and I mean the only stand-out, is the weekend of Saturday the 16th and Sunday the 17th of August. On Sunday the 16th afternoon, we’ve got a 5ft NW swell with an 8-second period. The key thing here is the wind goes light cross-onshore from the NW, which is better than the cross-shore trash we’ve had. The wave energy jumps up to a moderate (544), which is the highest in the whole forecast. It’s still not perfect, but it’s the best on offer. The morning of the 17th taps out at 4ft, and the energy is still decent at (430). These are the two sessions to pencil in. The rest of the run is small, weak, and windy.
The swell direction is a steady NW which is the optimum for Roads End, so the break is set up right, but the period is too short for any real grunt. It’s not going to have that long, clean wall. The break is a beach and reef, fairly consistent, and crowds are possible there. But with this quality, it won’t be packed.
So, to be straight with you: the first week is a write-off. The second week has a couple of days that are worth a look, but don’t expect magic. If you’re desperate, the 16th and 17th are your best bets.
Rusty.
