The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this stretch of coast is serving up a flat, frustrating run for the next 16 days. If you’re looking for a wave, you’re going to be disappointed. Every single day from August 1st right through to August 16th is a write-off—no surf worth paddling out for. The only break on the radar is Round Rock, and it’s copping a constant cross-onshore wind from the east, mostly 12 to 22 mph, which is just trashing any chance of a clean face. The swell is there, sure, but it’s short-period stuff—6 to 8 seconds—and the energy is weak to moderate (values between 111 and 748). The problem is the wind never lets up. The water temp is about average for this time of year, but that’s little comfort when you’re staring at lumpy, choppy, poor surf day after day.
There’s no standout here, not even a sniff of a good session. The closest thing to a change comes on August 11th and 12th, when the swell pushes up to 7.9 ft from the ENE with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy climbs into the strong range (748). But the wind is still cross-on and fresh, and it’s all messy. The 11th afternoon has a brief moment of ‘on’ wind, but it’s still not clean. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing—strong cross-onshore winds and decent swell size, but absolutely no quality for a surfer.
If you’re desperate, August 7th morning has a 6.6 ft ENE swell with 8-second period (energy 469), but it’s the same story: fresh cross-onshore breeze and lumpy conditions. Nothing to get excited about. The whole 16-day window is a blank run—normal for this area when the trade winds lock in. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards in the shed.

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.
