The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Point Roadnight over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, mate, it's a bit of a slow start, but there's some serious grunt lurking in the back half of this forecast. The first real window of opportunity is a beauty, but it's a flash in the pan. The standout is undeniably that Monday morning session on the 31st of August. Glassy conditions, a solid 5ft swell from the SSW, and a very long 14-second period. The energy is strong (1099), and the water temp is sitting at 57°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year.
That morning is the pick of the entire run. The afternoon of the 31st is still sweet with 5ft glassy surf, but from there, things get messy. Tuesday the 1st of September and Wednesday the 2nd bring in some strong, chunky cross-off winds. The swell is still there, but the wind is going to mess it up. The windows are there, but it's not the clean, playful stuff you want.
Then it gets serious. Thursday the 3rd of September gets a big, powerful push of swell from the SW. The morning is a punchy 7ft with a fresh offshore wind, but by the afternoon, it's a proper 12ft beast with a massive energy reading (7534). That's expert territory only, and with a 14-second period, it's going to be a grinding, heavy wave at a point break like this. The wind is clean, but it's a beast. Friday and Saturday are still big, but the wind goes cross-shore, making it a bit of a battle.
The real highlight, though, is the morning of Monday the 8th of September. Holy moly, that's a bomb. 13ft of SSW swell with a 17-second period. The energy is enormous (10532). This is a serious, serious groundswell. It's only for the most experienced crew, and the wind is a strong cross-off, so it will be clean but incredibly powerful. The afternoon is still a solid 10ft with an 18-second period.
After that, the swell backs off through the second week, but it stays clean and surfable. The 9th and 10th of September offer some decent 5ft to 7ft sets with lighter winds. It's not the standout of the first week, but it's a good, solid run. The tail end of the outlook, around the 14th and 15th of September, drops right off into tiny, weak 2ft to 2ft surf. The real energy is definitely in that first week, especially the 31st and that epic 8th of September.
So, to wrap it up: don't sleep on the 31st of August – that's your perfect, clean, fun session. The 3rd of September is for the big-wave chargers. And if you're a true adrenaline junkie, circle the 8th of September. That's a monster. The rest of the run is a mixed bag of average to good.
Rusty out.
