The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's coming our way.
Honestly, mate, it's a pretty average start. For the first week and a half, we've got a constant flow of small, weak, short-period swell from the southwest. The energy is moderate at best, starting at 822 and dropping steadily into the 200s by the end of the month. The wind is a bit of a mixed bag, mostly cross or cross-onshore, so the surface is never going to be pristine. It’s a bit of a grind, but let’s see if there are any windows.
The first sniff of anything different comes on Saturday, August 2nd, when the swell swings around to the north-northwest and jumps to 5 ft, but the period is a tiny 5 seconds. It's more of a messy windswell. The following Monday and Tuesday, August 4th and 5th, the swell size peaks at around 6 ft and the energy climbs back up into the 300-450 range. However, the period stays short, around 6-7 seconds, and the wind is cross-shore from the north. At a beach-and-reef set-up like Roads End, this is more likely to be a choppy, messy mess than anything fun. This is really looking more suitable for kite surfing than paddle surfing, if you're into that.
The standout, if you can call it that, looks like the shift around August 6th and 7th. The direction goes more west-northwest, and the period stretches out to 8-9 seconds. The swell size drops back to 3 ft - 3 ft, but the slightly longer period will give them a bit more shape. The wind is still a factor, but there’s a faint glimmer of a chance. It’s really a pretty bleak 16-day run, so temper any expectations. For an area that can be consistent, it's just a poor run of form.
Signing off, Rusty.

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.
