The Lowdown
Alright surfers, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what's on the cards for Point Roadnight over the next couple of weeks.
It’s a classic setup here – a point break that's rarely breaks, so when it does line up, you better be ready. The main driver for the whole period is a consistent push of long-period SW groundswell. The water temp is about average for this time of year, which is fine, just don't expect a tropical bath.
We've got a bit of a quiet start on the Saturday the 29th, but things get interesting quickly. Saturday morning is where it’s at for the whole outlook. The swell is a clean 4 ft from the SW with a long 14 second period, pushing a solid moderate wave energy (466). But the real magic is the 3 mph WNW glass-off wind. It’s going to be glassy perfection. That's the standout session – get out there early.
By Saturday afternoon, the swell jumps up to 7 ft from the SW, and the combined energy kicks right up to 2293 (moderate-to-strong). That’s a solid step up, but it’s getting into the size where only the experienced crew will be comfortable. The wind goes cross-off from the SSW, so it’ll be clean, but the bigger, longer-period groundswell might make it a bit straight at the peak. If you’re confident, it’s on.
Sunday the 30th keeps the good vibes rolling. Morning has 5 ft of SSW swell with a 3 mph W offshore. That’s clean as a whistle and very surfable. Then Sunday afternoon pushes up to 8 ft from the SW (energy 2975 – strong), which is getting proper. It’s still clean with a cross-off, but again, that’s expert territory.
Monday the 31st is a step down in quality. The swell hangs around 4-5 ft with a long 14-second period, but the wind goes light and cross-shore, introducing a bit of wobble. The energy is still there, but the surface won't be as tidy.
We hit a bit of a rough patch from Tuesday the 1st of September through to the end of that week. The swell sticks around, mostly in the 4 ft to 6 ft range, but the wind turns onshore or cross-off with moderate to fresh breezes. The combined energy fluctuates, but the scores drop because the conditions just aren't cooperating. Wednesday the 2nd is a small respite with glassy conditions in the afternoon on a 5 ft SW swell – that’s one to keep an eye on.
The second week gets more mushy. There are a few glimmers, like Monday the 7th of September with a 4 ft SW swell and a clean offshore, but it's mixed with showers. After that, the swells get shorter period and the wind stays strong and cross-off, making it all look a bit average for a clean surfline. By the 10th of September, we get some gentle offshore winds again on a 4 ft SSW swell with a very long 16 second period – that could offer some nice, clean lines at the point if you don't mind the bigger gaps between sets.
Overall, the big winner is Saturday morning 29 August. Glassy point waves with good energy. After that, it's a pick-and-mix of solid swells with tricky winds.
Crowds are *sometimes* an issue here, so for that Saturday morning glass-off, expect a few other punters who read the forecast.

Information about the Point Roadnight Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Point Roadnight provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Point Roadnight can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Point Roadnight surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Point Roadnight) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Point Roadnight may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Point Roadnight is 36 km (22 miles) from the city of Geelong. If you plan a holiday in Torquay, look for hotels and other accommodation in Geelong. Geelong has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
