The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got on the cards.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this outlook is a tough one. For the next 16 days, starting now and running through to September 9th, the surf at Round Rock is looking pretty grim. There’s no standout session, no real spark in the water. The whole period is a write-off for decent waves, so don’t get your hopes up.
Right from the start, Tuesday the 25th of August, we’ve got cross-onshore winds mucking things up. That trend just keeps on going day after day. The swell hangs around mostly from the ENE, with heights from about 2 ft up to 7 ft, but the wind is always onshore or cross-shore, leaving the surface lumpy and choppy. The wave energy is mostly moderate, bouncing between 125 and 1067 (combined energy of all swells directed here), but with that wind, it’s all for nothing. The water temp is sitting at 29°, which is about normal for this time of year.
Even when we get a bit more size, like around 6 ft to 7 ft late in the first week and into early September, the wind doesn’t let up. That ENE breeze stays right in our face. On Sunday the 30th of August, there’s a glimmer with a long-period groundswell from the east, periods hitting 15 seconds, and that’s a classic recipe for good shape at a point or reef, but Round Rock is exposed and it’s still cross-onshore and choppy. All that energy (780 and 1067) just goes to waste.
Through the second week, it’s more of the same. Fresh cross-onshore winds, lumpy conditions, and poor surf quality. The break itself is consistent, but with this constant onshore flow, it doesn’t matter. The swell direction from the ENE is not playing nice with the optimum direction from the north either. Honestly, if you’re looking to get wet, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There are no good surf options in this 16-day window. It’s a blank run, but Round Rock is a spot that can go through these spells. Forecasts can always change, but as it stands, leave the board at home.
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.
