The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch to the old system.
The window starts Saturday the 15th with a solid SW groundswell coming through. Point Roadnight is a point break that rarely breaks, so you need the stars to align. Saturday morning is glassy, with zero wind, and a 6ft SW swell at 15 seconds. That’s a long period, meaning good shape and energy, and the water temp is 56°F, which is about average for this time of year. The combined energy is a strong 1512, so there’s plenty of grunt. This is the pick of the first week: Saturday morning for experienced surfers. Saturday arvo holds up too with a light cross-off and 6ft, but the morning glass is the winner.
Sunday the 16th drops off hard. The swell backs to 4ft with a cross-on breeze, and conditions are marginal. Monday through Wednesday next week is pretty poor – small swell, bad winds, and the energy craters (down to 122 on Wednesday morning). There’s a long gap of poor to marginal surf from Sunday the 16th right through to Friday the 21st. Even the clean days on the 20th and 21st are tiny, under 3ft, so not worth suiting up.
Looking further out, there’s some real fire. Saturday the 22nd jumps back to 7ft SW swell at 15 seconds with a moderate offshore. The combined energy is 1849, that’s strong. This is a big standout for the second week. It’s a bit much for beginners, but for intermediates and up, it’s a goer. Sunday the 23rd gets even bigger, with 8ft SSW swell and a 17-second period, energy at 4617. That’s expert territory, especially because the long period can make a point break like this really line up. Monday the 24th keeps the run going with 7ft SW and a gentle offshore – another excellent morning.
Then the end of the window, Thursday the 27th, looks massive. Morning 10ft and afternoon 15ft SW swell, both with clean cross-off winds. The energy is huge (4566 in the arvo). This is only for the experienced crew, and the period (11 seconds) isn’t as extreme as the previous week, so it might be a bit more manageable. Still, it’s a serious swell.
Summary: Saturday the 15th morning is the best early bet – glassy, clean, and a solid 6ft. The second week really fires from Saturday the 22nd through Monday the 24th, and again on the 27th, but those are for competent surfers only. The mid-week gaps are long and flat, so don’t waste your energy.

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.
