In the river, downstream is like rolling upstream in the ocean as the waves appear to come from downstream. It's the support of a wave that makes rolling easy in a rough water environment. Bracing (which is all any roll really is) is always done downstream, regardless of the type of water your in. In the surf the water is being drawn from the beach and up the face of the wave, so by bracing into the wave you are, in fact, bracing downstream.
