The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the same story in feet and miles per hour.
Straight up, it’s a rough outlook for Round Rock for the next two weeks. We’re stuck in a pattern of onshore winds that are just killing the surface.
The first session worth mentioning is the morning of Sunday, August 30th. We’ve got a 7ft swell from the ENE with a 10-second period, and a combined energy reading of 993 (moderate to strong). But the wind is a fresh cross-shore from the ESE at 19 mph, making it lumpy and cross-chop. It’s poor, and not a session to get excited about.
The first full week is a total loss. From Friday the 28th through Thursday, September 3rd, every forecast is rated as poor. The wind is relentless from the east, mostly cross-onshore at 12 to 22 mph, turning the surf into a choppy, lumpy mess. Swell heights are between 3ft and 6ft, but with short periods of 7 to 8 seconds, there’s no quality. The water temp is 84°, which is about average.
You have to wait until Saturday, September 5th for the biggest push. The morning brings a 8ft easterly swell, 9-second period, and combined energy spiking to 1520 (strong). But the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph from the ESE. That’s big, messy, and only for experts. The wind makes it a washing machine.
From the 6th through the 12th, it’s the same beat: east wind, cross-onshore, lumpy conditions. Swell stays between 4ft and 8ft, with short periods. There’s never a moment of clean, offshore wind. The crowd factor is irrelevant when the surf is this poor.
There are no true standouts in this 16-day window. If you’re an expert looking for power, the morning of September 5th has the size, but it’s windy and ugly. For most of us, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, with that consistent onshore breeze.
Keep an eye on it, but right now it’s a long, poor run.
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.
