The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here, checking in on Round Rock. We’ve got a full 16-day outlook, but I’m not gonna lie – it’s a rough one.
The whole pattern is dominated by a stubborn easterly wind that’s just going to keep the surface messy. The swell is coming from the east and east-northeast, and the wind is fighting it the whole way. Water temp is about 82°, which is normal for this time of year.
The first surf we see is on Thursday, July 16th, with a 4ft swell from the ENE in the afternoon. But the wind is onshore at 15 mph, and the energy is weak at 113. The report says "poor surf conditions," and that’s exactly what it is.
Friday the 17th has a bigger swell, up to 6ft, with moderate energy around 391, but it’s all cross-onshore at 22 mph and lumpy. The weekend of the 18th and 19th sees the swell peak at 7ft and 8ft, with strong energy (679 and 628), but the wind is relentless. It’s fresh cross-onshore, and for a beach break, that’s a mess. The kite surfers might have a field day, but for paddle surfing, it’s a write-off.
The second week, from the 21st to the 31st, is the same old story. Swell sizes range from 4ft to 7ft, with energy in the moderate range, but the easterly wind is always there, cross-onshore at 15 to 22 mph. The period is short, around 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s just windswell, not a proper groundswell. Nothing to get your hopes up about.
Bottom line: this is a dry spell. Round Rock is a consistent spot, but the wind has it locked down. It’s a poor run, but that’s part of the deal here sometimes. Things can turn, but right now, there’s nothing worth a paddle.
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.
