The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaking for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim start. The first real chance of anything surfable is on Sunday the 26th of July at Roads End, but it’s a struggle. We’ve got a small 3ft SW swell pushing in with a very long 19-second period, which means it’s all about that groundswell energy. The combined energy is moderate (739). The water is a freezing 53°, which is 6° colder than normal for this time of year – that’s seriously unusual, so you’ll want a thick hood. The wind is a light cross-on from the WSW, so it’s not totally blown out, but it’s not glassy either. Honestly, it’s a marginal day, not a standout.
The whole following week is a real write-off. Monday the 27th through to the 7th of August is just a long stretch of poor surf. The swell stays tiny, under 3ft mostly, but even when it tries to push a little over 3ft towards the end of July and early August, the wind is never on our side. It’s always cross or cross-on, mostly from the NNW or N, with speeds between 6 and 15 mph putting chop on the surface. The periods drop off into the 6 to 9-second range too, so it’s just weak, short-period junk. You’re looking at a solid 10-day gap of nearly nothing worth paddling out for.
The only faint glimmer in the whole forecast lands on the 9th and 10th of August. The swell finally builds to a decent 7ft from the NW on Sunday the 9th, with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy cranks up to strong (980 and 1094). That’s more like it. The wind is still cross-on from the NW, but it’s light on the 10th, which is a bonus. That sized swell is pushing into the expert zone – over 8ft it’s for experienced surfers only, and this is just under that, so it’s still meaty. The setup is a beach and reef, and with that long-period groundswell it might break a bit straight on the beach, but the reef could offer some shape. This is the best on offer, but it’s over two weeks away, so keep your fingers crossed that the forecasts hold.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
