Alright, let’s break it down.
Honestly, mate, this is one of those outlooks where the local surf scene is going to be pretty quiet for a while. Round Rock is the only break on offer in the data, and it’s looking like a write-off for the next couple of weeks. The first record kicks off on Saturday, July 4, but don’t get your hopes up—there’s no good surf to recommend at any point across the entire 16-day window.
From Saturday morning the 4th right through to Sunday, July 19, it’s all poor surf conditions. That’s a solid two-week stretch with nothing to get excited about. The swell will be hanging around from the east or east-northeast, with heights mostly between 5 ft and 8 ft—enough water moving out there—but the wind is the killer. Almost every morning and afternoon brings a cross-onshore breeze of 15 to 22 mph, mostly from the east or ENE, which is going to leave the surface lumpy, choppy, and just messy. No glassy windows, no clean lines. The combined wave energy sits between 273 and 1038 (moderate to strong energy for a couple of days), but with that wind direction, it’s all for nothing.
The water temperature at the start on the 4th is 83°, with an anomaly of 0.5°—that’s bang on average for this time of year, so at least the water feels normal. The swell period is short, only 8 seconds the whole way through, which means weak, disorganized waves with no real punch. A long period for Round Rock is 8 seconds? That’s basically windswell. Not the kind of stuff that draws you down the beach.
There’s not a single standout here. No break offers any better conditions. If you’ve got kitesurfing gear and a strong wind tolerance, the cross-onshore wind and 5 ft to 8 ft swell might be worth a look for that crowd, but for paddle surfing? Forget it.
The truth is, this area tends to see these blank runs from time to time. It’s not unusual. Forecasts can change, but right now there’s nothing to latch onto. Hang tight, keep an eye on the charts, and wait for a proper groundswell and some offshore wind to show up.

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.
