The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking.
First up, we've got Point Roadnight. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The next week or so is pretty grim, to be honest. There's a bit of swell kicking around from Thursday the 10th right through Sunday the 13th, but the wind and conditions are just ordinary. It's mostly cross-off or cross-on, with moderate breezes, and the wave quality is marginal at best. The combined energy is moderate to strong, ranging from 2460 down to 349, but it's just not lining up for a good session. You'd be wasting your time paddling out in that chop and rain.
We've got a real gap from Monday the 14th through to Thursday the 17th, with nothing much doing. The swell drops right off to below 3 ft for a couple of days, with only weak energy (194 to 222). Not worth getting wet for.
Then, things start to look interesting. On Tuesday the 15th, we get a proper pulse of swell out of the SW, jumping to 12 ft with a period of 13 seconds. This is a solid groundswell with strong combined energy (5970). It's got a moderate offshore wind (SW) on the Tuesday morning, making for clean conditions. This is a standout, but only for the experts. At 12 ft, this is not for the faint-hearted or beginners. By the afternoon, the wind swings and it gets more marginal.
Following that, Wednesday the 16th holds clean 7 ft swell from the SSW with a long 16-second period, and light cross-off winds. Combined energy is still strong at 2081. This is another very good day, especially for experienced surfers who know a point break like this.
We get a little breather on Thursday the 17th with glassy conditions in the morning and 5 ft SW swell. Combined energy is moderate (962). It's clean and looks like a fun, mellow session.
Friday the 18th sees the swell bump up again to 8 ft from the SW, but with a fresh breeze making for clean waves. The period is short at 13 seconds, and combined energy is strong (3503). This is another one for the experienced crew.
A smaller clean window appears on Saturday the 19th with 5 ft SSW swell and light cross-off winds, then it drops off again.
Looking way out, there's a late-breaking standout on Thursday the 25th of September. We've got a big 13 ft S swell, but with a very short period of just 9 seconds and moderate offshore winds. Combined energy is strong (3322). This is a massive, short-period swell that will be powerful and messy. Definitely for experts only, and given the short period, it might be a bit walled-off at the beach. Keep an eye on it.
All in all, the real highlights are Tuesday the 15th morning and Wednesday the 16th. The first is a big, clean offshore session for the brave, and the second is just top-shelf conditions with long-period groundswell. One thing to note: Point Roadnight rarely breaks, so when it does line up like this, you want to be on it.
Stay keen.
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.
