Point Roadnight Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking at Point Roadnight. This is a classic point break that doesn’t fire all that often, so when the stars align, you gotta be on it.

We’ve got a solid run of surf coming, but it’s a slow starter. The first few days are pretty average, with a small, weak 2ft to 3ft swell from the SW on Wednesday the 22nd. The wind is a bit all over the place, and the wave energy is weak (178-241). Not worth paddling out for.

Then things get real. On Thursday the 23rd, a big pulse of SW groundswell moves in. The morning sees a solid 12ft swell with a 14-second period, and the wind is offshore – clean and mean. The combined energy is pumping (6482). This is serious, expert-level surf. If you’ve got the skills, this is the standout of the whole period. The afternoon stays big at 13ft, still offshore. This is Thursday, the 23rd.

Friday the 24th holds onto that size. The morning has a 13ft SW swell with a 15-second period, and the energy is massive (11020). The wind is cross-off, so it’s still clean, but with that much power and length, it’s going to be bending around the point beautifully. Again, only for the experienced crew. The afternoon drops a bit to 8ft, but the wind picks up.

Saturday the 25th is still pumping with 10ft to 12ft SW swell, and the Saturday afternoon session looks choice with offshore winds and clean conditions. This is still big, expert territory.

The surf drops off Sunday the 26th, with 4ft to 4ft SSW swell. The wind is light, and the conditions are clean. For the average surfer, this is the window to get a wave. The water temp is about 58°, which is pretty normal for the time of year, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit.

Monday the 27th keeps the smaller, clean 4ft to 4ft surf going, and the Monday afternoon looks like a dream – glassy conditions with a 4ft SW swell. That’s a rare treat.

Tuesday the 28th builds a little. The afternoon is a standout for the smaller swell crew: a glassy 6ft SSW swell with a 15-second period. The point will be clean and lined up. This is a fantastic session.

After that, the quality drops off. From Wednesday the 29th into early August, the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore, and the surf gets messy. There’s a long gap of poor conditions from the 29th to the 31st.

Looking into the second week, there’s a glimmer of hope. On Saturday the 1st of August, we get a 5ft SW swell with a 16-second period and offshore winds in the afternoon. That’s a promising, clean session. The 2nd of August also has a clean 7ft swell in the afternoon. These are longer-range calls, so keep an eye on the forecast, but the potential is there.

Overall, the absolute best of the lot is Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th for the big wave chargers. For the rest of us, Monday the 27th afternoon and Tuesday the 28th afternoon are the top picks.

Rusty.
