The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be real, the outlook for Round Rock for the next 16 days is a bit of a bummer. It's a long, dry spell with nothing good on offer from the start. The first time we see anything that might be rideable is on Saturday, the 15th of August, and even then it's a proper handful.
We kick off on Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th with total washouts. The wind is screaming from the ENE, a nasty cross-onshore that's got the ocean all lumpy and messy. The swell is building to 2.5m, but it's a short-period, wind-driven mess with next to no energy (combined energy in the 400-900 range). The break is exposed, but with this wind, it's a total write-off. Leave the board at home.
Saturday the 15th is the only day that gets a pulse. The swell jumps up to 3.0m from the ENE with a period stretching to 11 seconds, and the combined energy hits 2019 – that's some serious power. The problem is, the forecast says the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. The wind is a cross-shore from the SE, which is a better direction, but 3.0m at Round Rock is going to be a heavy, pounding close-out. Honestly, with that grunty swell and the cross-shore wind, this setup looks more interesting for the kite surfers than for paddle surfing. It's a big, powerful, and messy scenario.
From Sunday the 16th all the way through to Friday the 28th, it's a repeat of the same story. The wind stays locked in from the east, cross-onshore, and the swell drops back to a messy 1.0m to 1.5m with short periods (6-9 seconds) and weak energy (mostly between 100 and 300). The water temperature is about average for this time of year, not that you'll be in it long enough to care. The whole stretch is a flat, choppy, and often windy mess. There's one day where the wind backs off a touch on Thursday the 20th, with a light breeze from the SE, but the swell is only 1.0m with a period of 8 seconds – it's just not enough to get excited about.
So, the honest truth, mate: there's no standout session in this 16-day window. The whole run is a blank. It's one of those periods where the forecast just doesn't give us a single good window. The only day that might be worth a very, very early look is Saturday the 15th if you're a big-wave charger and know the break intimately at that size, but for everyone else, it's a hard pass.
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.
