The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks.
It’s a slow run for the most part. Roads End is the only break in the game, and the good stuff is right at the start, followed by a long period of near-nothing.
Your best bet is Wednesday morning, July 22. We’ve got a small 2ft swell from the SW, but with a 14-second period, it’s got some real pull. The wind is glassy out of the west, so the surface will be clean as a whistle. The water is at 51°F, which is a massive 8° colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll need a serious winter suit. The combined energy is moderate at 395. This is the only real window for a decent session.
Things fall apart quickly. Wednesday afternoon the wind picks up, and by Thursday, July 23, the swell period drops to 9 seconds and the wind gets messy. The whole weekend of July 25-26 is blown out by strong winds, with the energy spiking to 796 on Saturday, but it’s all cross-shore chop – not worth paddling into.
From Sunday, July 27, right through to August 6, the forecast is a desert. The swells are tiny, the wind is wrong, and the periods are short. The energy drops into the low hundreds. It’s a solid 15-day stretch where the surf is a no-go for Roads End.
So, the only true standout is Wednesday morning, July 22. Get in the water early because that glassy, long-period swell will be your only clean shot. After that, it’s a long wait.
Rusty out.

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.
