Google can give you the roll over dates you are looking for.
You could also just look at volume to know when its best to move contracts.


Rule of thumb
If the last trading day falls Monday to Wednesday, trade the current contract till Friday, switch on Monday.
If the last trading day falls Thursday or Friday, trade the current contract till Tuesday, switch on Wednesday.
Pretty simple. Just switch over when the second contract's volume equals or exceeds the expiring contract's volume....either intraday or EOD volume totals.
