The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – if you’re chasing waves at Point Roadnight over the next 16 days, you’re gonna have to be patient. The first week is a write-off, with nothing but poor surf conditions and cross-onshore winds making a mess of things. The swell is there, but the wind just won’t play ball. We’ve got a real gap from now until Monday the 10th of August, where things finally start to look a little more interesting.
The real standout window kicks off on Wednesday the 12th of August. Wednesday morning is looking clean with a 5.6 ft SW groundswell (period 16 seconds) and cross-offshore winds, but the energy is building – you can feel it in the water (1485). Then Wednesday afternoon, the wind swings offshore and the swell pushes to 8.2 ft from the SW, with a massive jump in energy (5231). That’s proper, powerful groundswell – this is only for experienced surfers, as it’s well over the 8.2 ft mark. The long period (16 seconds) means it’ll be breaking a bit straight at the beach, but at a point like Point Roadnight, it’s going to line up nicely. Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th are the pick of the whole run. Thursday afternoon has 6.9 ft SW swell with gentle offshore winds from the WSW, offering excellent conditions for experienced surfers (2040 energy). Friday is the absolute standout: the morning has 7.5 ft SW swell with a clean offshore breeze from the west, and the energy is pumping (2704). The water temp is about average for the time of year at 56.3°F, so nothing unusual there. This spot is a point break that rarely breaks, so when it’s on, it’s a treat – but it’s also sometimes crowded, so expect company.
Saturday the 15th still offers good, clean 4.9 ft SW swell, but it’s smaller and more manageable. After that, the surf drops off quickly into the second week, with smaller swells and cross-onshore winds returning. From the 16th onward, it’s mostly marginal or poor, with a few brief moments of glassy conditions on Monday the 17th morning (3.6 ft SW, glassy winds) but it’s not the same quality. The 21st of August shows a bit of a pulse with 3.9 ft SW swell, but the wind is cross-shore, so it’s nothing special. Overall, the first week is a waste, but the 12th through 15th are worth waiting for – especially Friday the 14th. That’s your day.

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.
