Point Roadnight Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into Point Roadnight. This is a point break that doesn’t fire often—it’s a rare one—so when it does, you’ve got to be on it. It’s fairly open to the swell and wants it from the SSE, but we’re mostly seeing SW swells through the period. Water temp is about 57°, which is pretty normal for the season.

First chance to get wet is Friday afternoon, 31 July. There’s a clean 3ft SSW swell with a 12-second period, moderate energy (409), and a nice cross-off breeze. It’s small but clean, and for a rare break, that’s a start.

Saturday the 1st of August is rough. Morning has a 2ft SW swell with a massive 17-second period, but the wind is onshore and it’s ugly. The afternoon picks up to 5ft SW, still a long 17-second period, but cross wind and marginal. Not your day.

Sunday the 2nd is 5ft SW with moderate cross-shore wind and chop. Skip it.

Monday the 3rd of August is better. The morning has a clean 4ft SW swell with a 15-second period, cross-off wind, and moderate energy (817). The afternoon gets a proper offshore from the W at 12 mph, with 3ft SW swell at 14 seconds. Clean, but small. For a rare break, you take it.

Now, Tuesday the 4th of August is the big one. The morning shows a 10ft SW swell with a 12-second period and massive energy (2670). That’s over 8ft—experts only. The wind is cross-off, so it’s clean, but this is serious. The afternoon drops to 6ft SW, still 12-second period, with a good offshore from the SW at 12 mph. The description says excellent for experienced surfers. This is the best window. Crowds are “sometimes,” so expect a few.

After that, Wednesday the 5th through Thursday the 6th is tiny—2ft to 2ft SW with good wind, but not much to work with.

Friday the 7th of August through Sunday the 9th is blown out with onshore winds. Rubbish.

Monday the 10th of August has a 4ft SW swell with a 14-second period, but the wind is ripping at 19 mph from the NW. Clean but messy.

Tuesday the 11th of August brings a 6ft SW swell with a 16-second period, cross-off wind, and strong energy (1728). The afternoon has a 5ft SW swell with a fresh offshore at 22 mph. Solid, but the wind is strong.

Wednesday the 12th of August is another highlight. The morning has a 5ft SW swell with a 14-second period, offshore wind from the W at 16 mph, and “very good surf conditions.” The afternoon is smaller at 4ft but with a gentle offshore. A clean, solid session.

Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th are mostly cross-shore junk.

But Friday the 14th of August afternoon shows a clean 5ft SW swell with a 15-second period, light wind, and good energy (1038). That’s a nice late one.

Saturday the 15th of August is the final standout. The morning has a 4ft SW swell with a long 17-second period, light cross-off wind, and excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The afternoon bumps up to 5ft SW with a 16-second period, still light wind. That’s a beautiful finish.

The biggest dry spell is Saturday the 8th through Sunday the 9th of August—just a couple of days.

The highlights: Tuesday the 4th of August morning for the big 10ft set (experts only), and Saturday the 15th of August for the clean, long-period lines. The point is rare, so when it’s on, it’s a gem.

Rusty.
