The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here.
Let’s be real – the outlook for Round Rock over the next 16 days is a rough one. We’ve got a solid run of lumpy, choppy, and just plain poor conditions, with no real standouts to get excited about. Honestly, there’s nothing here I’d tell you to paddle out for.
The first session on offer is from the morning of Thursday, July 23rd. We’re looking at a weak, short-period swell from the east at 4 feet, with a period of just 6 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 151, and with a fresh cross-onshore wind blowing at 30 km/h, it’s gonna be a bumpy, messy mess. That same pattern just keeps rolling through the rest of the week and into the next. The swell builds a bit by Friday the 24th and Saturday, getting up to 6 feet, but the wind stays cross-on and the period is still short, so the waves will be choppy and hard to ride.
The energy picks up significantly around July 29th, with combined energy hitting 878 to 932, but at 8 feet with a short period, this is heavy, dumpy, and ugly. The wind continues to be a cross-onshore fresh breeze, so it’s going to be a washing machine out there. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a place for a traditional paddle session.
We get a bit of a drop in swell heading into early August, but the wind stays stubbornly cross-on, and the quality is still poor. From July 23rd all the way through to August 7th, there’s not a single day where the conditions improve enough to justify a recommendation. It’s a long, blank run.
The only break on the radar is Round Rock, which is a consistent spot, but the wind and swell combo just isn’t working in our favor this time. It’s a tough stretch, but forecasts can change, and it never stays poor for long.
Stay tuned, and keep an eye on the sky.

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.
