Point Roadnight Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a classic point break setup on the table, and it’s got a bit of a personality. It’s a spot that doesn’t fire all that often, but when it does, it’s a gem. The first real action kicks off Tuesday morning, the 4th of August, with a 3.9ft swell from the SW, but it’s a bit marginal with a cross-off wind. The real story starts Tuesday afternoon, where the wind swings straight offshore from the WSW, and the swell bumps up to 5.2ft. The energy is building, with a combined swell energy of 768 (moderate), and the period is a solid 12 seconds. This is clean, lined-up surf, and it’s looking like a great session.

The standout window is Wednesday, the 5th of August. Wednesday morning is the pick of the bunch. We’re looking at 5.6ft of SW swell, a 14-second period, and a gentle offshore wind from the West. The combined energy hits 1721 (strong), and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. The waves have some push, the wind is perfect, and that long period means the sets will have shape and power. This is the one to aim for. It’s a bit on the bigger side, so it’s not for beginners, but for the crew who know what they’re doing, this is proper.

Wednesday afternoon stays solid with 4.6ft and the same offshore wind, though the energy drops a notch. Still a very good session.

Then we hit a bit of a lull. Thursday, the 6th, into Friday, the 7th, the swell drops right off. Combined energy is down in the low hundreds, and the swell is just too weak to get excited about. The waves are there but the quality is poor, so it’s just a flat spell until the next pulse.

Saturday, the 8th, is a write-off with onshore winds and lumpy conditions. Not worth paddling out.

Sunday, the 9th, is a bit of a mixed bag. The morning is choppy, but the afternoon sees a fresh offshore wind from the WSW. The swell is small at 2.6ft, but it’s clean. It’s a low-energy session, but it’s surfable.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting again. Monday, the 10th of August, has a big pulse coming through. The morning shows 6.9ft of SW swell with a 12-second period, and clean conditions. The combined energy is 2274 (strong). But the afternoon… wow. The afternoon is a monster. We’re looking at 16.4ft of swell from the WSW, a 16-second period, and a combined energy reading of 15973 (very strong). The wind is cross-off and the conditions are clean. This is an absolute beast of a swell. However, it’s a *marginal* forecast, which means the tide or local factors might make this tricky. At 16.4ft, this is for experts only. If you’re not comfortable in big, heavy, long-period groundswell, stay on the beach. This is a serious, powerful swell that will be breaking straight and fast at the point. It’s a spectacle.

The next few days are a mix of solid, but messy, conditions. Tuesday, the 11th, has cross-shore winds and choppy water, so the quality is compromised. Wednesday, the 12th, is a return to form. The morning brings 7.9ft of SW swell, a 16-second period, and a gentle offshore wind. The energy is 2935 (strong), and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. This is another standout day, with clean, powerful waves.

Thursday, the 13th, also has some serious size. 11.5ft from the SSW, with a 16-second period and offshore winds. The afternoon is particularly good, with a gentle offshore and clean conditions. This is big, but clean. Again, expert territory.

Friday, the 14th, sees the swell dropping but still solid. The morning is excellent with 6.2ft, a 15-second period, and light offshore winds. The afternoon is a bit smaller. This is a nice, extended run of good conditions.

The weekend of the 15th and 16th is looking generally smaller, with clean conditions. Saturday the 15th afternoon is glassy, with a 3.9ft SW swell. That’s a lovely, relaxing session on a point.

The story then drifts off into smaller, weaker swell for the start of the following week. Monday, the 17th, is a write-off with strong winds.

Finally, at the very end of the forecast, Tuesday, the 19th of August, the morning is glassy with a 4.6ft SW swell (879 energy). That’s a beautiful, clean, small-wave session to finish the run.

So, the clear winner here is Wednesday morning, the 5th of August. That’s the session that has it all: good size, perfect wind, and that long-period energy. The second standout is Monday, the 10th of August, but that’s a big, powerful, and potentially tricky day for the brave. The run from Wednesday the 12th through Friday the 14th is also a
