The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got a straight-up bummer of a 16-day outlook for us. The finder says there isn’t a single good surf option to recommend in this whole window. That’s a tough pill to swallow, but let’s look at what’s on offer.
The only spot on the radar is Round Rock. It’s an exposed, consistent intermediate break, and it’s pulling in swell from the ENE pretty much the whole time. The problem is that the wind is relentless. From Sunday, July 19th through Monday, August 3rd, we’re stuck with a cross-onshore breeze, mostly from the east or east-northeast, blowing anywhere from 12 to 22 mph. That’s keeping the surface chopped up and lumpy. Every single session is flagged as “poor surf conditions.”
The swell does show up. It starts around 4 ft on Tuesday, July 21st, but it’s short-period stuff (6-8 seconds), so it’s weak and mushy. The combined energy is moderate, but it’s all wind-affected. The water temp is 82°F with a tiny anomaly, so it’s pretty average for this time of year.
Because the swell gets over 7 ft from July 28th through the 31st, and with that persistent cross-onshore wind, Round Rock is going to be a mess. That kind of setup with a beach or beach-and-reef break is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The waves will be big and lumpy, but not clean.
To be fair, when a spot is consistent like this, a blank run on the forecast doesn’t always last. Forecasts can change. But right now, there’s nothing to get excited about for the next 16 days.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
