The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, checking in on the local surf. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day outlook is a bit of a tough read.
We’ve got a big dry spell on our hands. From now, right through most of the period, there’s basically nothing worth the paddle. It’s a long gap, pushing two weeks, where the conditions just aren't cooperating.
The first real pulse of energy, and I use that term loosely, shows up on Tuesday, the 18th of August, at Roads End. We get a groundswell from the WNW with a 13-second period, so it has some legs, but the wind is still blowing cross-shore, which will put a chop on it. The energy will be moderate to strong (1653). The water temp is about average for this time of year. With the swell hitting 2.2m from the WNW, this is strictly for the experienced crew. It’s got power, but it’s going to be lumpy.
Wednesday the 19th keeps the size going with a 1.9m WNW swell, but again, the wind is wrong, making it messy. The combined energy is still pumping (1047). The wind stays a problem for the next few days.
We get a slight window on Thursday the 20th with lighter wind and a 1.3m WNW swell at 11 seconds. The period is nice, but the forecasts aren't giving it the thumbs up for clean conditions.
That Friday the 21st has a lighter breeze, but it's a light cross-onshore, and the swell drops to 1.0m from the West. The period stays decent, but again, it's not clean.
Bottom line: If you’re a die-hard, the 18th and 19th might offer some size for experts who can handle the chop. But there’s no day I’d call a winner. Honestly, if the wind stays like this, I’d be looking at kite gear instead of a surfboard. The forecasts can change, so don't give up hope, but for now, it's a waiting game.

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.
