The Lowdown

Alright mate, grab a seat, ‘cause Point Roadnight is looking like it’s gonna throw a few gems your way over the next couple of weeks. It’s a point break that doesn’t fire that often, so when it does, you bloody well take notice. Water’s sitting right around 57°, pretty normal for this time of year.

The first few days are a bit average. Sunday and Monday have some swell pushing in – about 4 to 5ft from the SW – but the wind’s all wrong, cross and cross-off, keeping things messy. Not worth wetting your wetsuit for just yet.

Things start to crank on Tuesday, 4th of August. We’re talking a solid 8ft SW swell in the morning. That’s getting up there, so keep it for the experienced crew. The wind swings offshore from the SW in the afternoon, cleaning it right up. The combined energy is pumping hard at 2222 (moderate to strong). Wednesday drops right back to a tiny 2ft to 2ft, but with a light offshore breeze, it’ll be glassy and clean – good for a longboard if you’re that way inclined.

Now, the real standout is Friday, 7th of August. Friday morning has clean 3ft SW waves with light cross-off winds, but Friday afternoon is the absolute killer. The wind goes glassy, and the swell bumps to 4ft from the SW, with a super long 17-second period. The energy is strong at 1472. This is a point break, so that long-period groundswell will wrap in beautifully, giving you proper shaped waves and long walls. Expect clean faces and long rides. Crowds are possible, but on a Friday arvo at a spot that rarely breaks, it could be worth the punt.

The weekend goes to shit. Saturday and Sunday, 8th and 9th of August, are total write-offs with strong onshore winds and lumpy junk. Don’t even think about it.

Then hold onto your board, ‘cause Monday, 10th of August, is another big day. The morning has a meaty 8ft SW swell with cross-off winds – a heap of energy in the water (5236). The afternoon cleans up with offshore wind and a still solid 6ft, excellent for experienced surfers. That’s a serious session if you’ve got the stones.

The middle of the following week, Wednesday, 12th of August, is another beauty. Solid 6ft SW swell, clean conditions, and another 6ft in the afternoon with gentle offshore winds. That’s back-to-back goodness.

Thursday, 13th of August, pushes into big-wave territory with a 10ft SSW swell. That’s expert-only stuff, and while the winds are cross-off, that much power at a point break will be a handful. Not for the faint-hearted.

The final standout lands on Friday, 14th of August, with a very solid 5ft SW swell, clean conditions, and excellent quality for experienced surfers. After that, things taper off through the 16th and 17th, with decent but smaller waves, and then the run fades out.

So, in short: skip the early days and the weekend garbage. Lock in Friday, 7th August afternoon, Tuesday, 10th August afternoon, and the run from Wednesday, 12th to Friday, 14th August. Those are the sessions to circle on the calendar. Point Roadnight doesn’t turn on often, so when it does, you make the most of it.

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.
