G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a long 16-day window to look at, and it’s a mixed bag. The first week is a slow cooker—nothing worth paddling out for until the second week. Then things fire up with some serious energy, but you’ve got to pick your days and spots carefully. This whole outlook is for one spot, Point Roadnight, a point break that rarely breaks, so when it does, it’s a special deal.

Right now, we’re in a quiet spell. For the first few days, from Wednesday 8 July through to Sunday 12 July, there’s really nothing doing. The swell’s small and the wind’s not playing ball. Wednesday the 8th has a bit of 4ft to 5ft SW swell, but with a light cross-onshore breeze and a period of 18 seconds—that’s a long-period groundswell that’ll be too straight for this point, and the combined energy sits at 1240 (moderate), but the conditions are marginal. Thursday the 9th thins out to 3ft with glassy conditions in the morning, but the energy drops to 497 (weak) and the swell period of 16 seconds is still long, making it a flat-looking session. Friday and Saturday are smaller again, with Saturday seeing a fresh cross-shore wind of 19 mph that’s lumpy—don’t bother. Sunday the 12th shows a jump to 5ft to 6ft SW swell with a period of 14 seconds and a fresh cross-offshore wind, but the energy is moderate to strong (1124 and 899), yet the score says it’s marginal. A long gap of six days with no real recommendations, so you’re better off waiting.

Now, Monday 13 July is where it starts to get interesting. The morning offers 6ft SW swell at 16 seconds (1738 energy, moderate to strong) with a fresh cross-offshore wind, but it’s still listed as marginal. The standout comes Monday afternoon: 7ft SW swell, 15-second period, and a moderate offshore wind from the west at 16 mph. That’s clean, powerful, and the combined energy is 2248 (strong). This is excellent for experienced surfers only—over 7ft is expert territory—but the direction (SW) matches the optimum SSE direction from the guidance closely enough, and the offshore wind will make it glassy. Tuesday the 14th holds similar size (8ft in the morning, 7ft in the afternoon) with strong energy (2828 and 2066) and offshore winds, but it’s still marginal according to the data, and the morning has a cross-offshore wind. Wednesday the 15th stays solid at 7ft to 6ft with a shorter period of 11 to 13 seconds, offering cleaner conditions but still marginal.

The next true standout is Friday 17 July morning. The wind is glassy—dead calm at 0 mph from the NNW—and the swell is 5ft SW with a very long period of 17 seconds. That 17-second period is a proper groundswell, which at a point break like Point Roadnight is perfect for long, peeling waves. The combined energy is 1526 (strong). This is excellent for experienced surfers again, with clean, glassy conditions. The water temperature sits at 58°F with an anomaly of 2°F, so it’s about average for this time of year—nothing unusual to report there.

After that, Saturday 18 July has 4ft to 3ft SW swell with a 14 to 15-second period, clean and cross-offshore, but the energy drops to 743 (moderate) and it’s only good, not excellent. From Sunday 19 July onward, the surf fades away again with small, weak swell under 3ft and lumpy winds. But then on Tuesday 21 July, there’s a sudden spike: 8ft SW swell at 11 seconds with strong energy (2099) and a cross-offshore wind, but it’s marginal and the wind is strong at 25 mph. Wednesday 22 July has big 12ft to 10ft S swell at 10 seconds (energy of 2392 and 1662, strong to very strong), but with a cross-offshore wind and a short period, it’s only for experts, and the direction (S) doesn’t match the optimum SSE. Thursday 23 July shows 7ft to 7ft S swell at 8 seconds—that’s a very short period, windswell—but the energy is moderate (1034 and 879) and the conditions are clean with a gentle cross-offshore breeze. The scores say very good conditions, but the short period means it won’t have the shape you want for a point break, so it’s more of a mushy option for the experienced.

If you’re looking for the best, aim for Monday 13 July afternoon or Friday 17 July morning. Both have strong energy, clean winds, and decent swell direction for the point. But keep in mind, Point Roadnight rarely breaks, so this is a rare opportunity. For the rest, it’s a waiting game.

Rusty.

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.
