The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and it's a grim one. For the next couple of weeks, the wind is the story, and it's not a good one. It's hammering out of the east and northeast straight across the break, making everything lumpy and horrible.
Starting Wednesday, July 29th, it's rough. Swell is 6ft to 8ft from the ENE, but with a short, weak period of 8 seconds. The wind is a strong 22 mph cross-onshore, so you get messy, choppy waves. The wave energy is moderate (419 to 669). This same story repeats through Thursday, Friday, and into the weekend.
By Saturday, August 1st, the swell drops to about 4ft to 5ft, and the wind eases to 15-18 mph, but it stays cross-shore. Still choppy. The whole next week is more of the same: constant east winds, and the swell sits between 4ft and 6ft with a period of just 6 to 7 seconds. That's just windswell junk.
Heading into the second week, around August 9th and 10th, the swell builds back to a solid 7ft to 8ft from the ENE. The wave energy gets strong (495 to 677). Sounds promising, right? Nah. The wind is still blowing 22 mph from the ENE, right onshore. It'll be big, powerful, and completely unsurfable. For a spot like Round Rock, that's kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing.
At the very end, from August 12th into the 13th, the swell backs off to 5ft to 6ft. But the fresh cross-onshore wind is still there, so the poor conditions continue.
There’s no standout session. Not one. It’s a full 16-day blank run of poor conditions. The wind just won't give us a break. This one's a write-off.
Rusty.

Information about the Round Rock Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Round Rock provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Round Rock can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Round Rock 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 (Round Rock) 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 Round Rock 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.
