The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty checkin’ in. Let’s break down what’s on the horizon at Roads End. Fair to say the first couple weeks look a bit grim, but there’s a couple windows of hope if you’re patient.
Starting on Monday the 31st of August, we’ve got a so-so 4ft NW swell, but the wind is cross-on from the WNW at just 3 mph, putting little ripples on the surface. Combined swell energy is a moderate 486. Water temp is 56°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year. Not worth paddling out.
Big shows up on Wednesday the 2nd of September morning – a chunky 10ft SSW swell with a short period of 8 seconds, and a fresh 19 mph southerly wind making lumpy chop. Combined energy is very strong at 1332. That’s way over 8ft, so experts only, and it’s going to be a rough, messy grind. Not a recommendation.
Thursday the 3rd of September sees a 8ft WNW swell with an 11-second period, strong energy at 1976, but cross-shore and cross-onshore winds with rain and storms kill the quality.
There’s a little relief on Friday the 4th of September morning with a 5ft WNW swell and a light cross-shore breeze from the SSW at 6 mph, but still just marginal.
The true standouts are at the tail end. On Monday the 15th of September morning, it goes glassy – zero wind, dead calm. Paired with a 4ft WNW swell at 12 seconds, that’s clean, long-period groundswell with moderate energy (435). That’s the best session of the whole run by miles.
There’s also a brief clean window on the morning of the 14th of September, with a light cross-offshore wind from the NE at 6 mph, but the swell is just a tiny 2ft from the SW with a 13-second period. Might be a long wait for a wave.
Otherwise, there’s a big dry spell from the 6th of September afternoon through the 13th of September. Tiny, weak swell and poor wind.
If you’ve got patience, the 15th of September morning is the one to circle. The 14th is a maybe if you’re desperate. Otherwise, take a break.
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.

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.
