The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's coming down the pipe for Point Roadnight.
Right off the bat, we've got a bit of a wait on our hands. The first few days are pretty grim, with nothing really worth paddling out for until we get to next week. You're looking at a dry spell from now through Monday the 14th, with weak, gutless swells and poor conditions.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Tuesday the 15th. The morning is the standout early call, with a solid 8ft SW swell and a 13-second period pushing in. There's a heap of energy behind this one, and with clean, offshore winds from the WSW at 16 mph, it’s going to be a ripper. This is proper groundswell with serious power, so only the experienced crew should be out there. The afternoon stays fun with 7ft from the same direction, but the wind picks up to a fresh 22 mph, making it a bit more of a handful. This is your best bet in the first week.
The next potential standout is way out there, nearly two weeks from now, on Tuesday the 22nd. We see a big 8ft SW groundswell with a very long 17-second period rolling in. The energy is massive, and it will be pushing hard. The catch is a light cross-onshore wind from the SE at 6 mph. For a spot like Point Roadnight, that long-period groundswell can sometimes run a bit straight, but with that much juice, it should still offer up some heavy, clean lines.
Looking at the water temps, just for context, it's hovering around 57°, which is pretty standard for this time of year. Nothing wild there.
So, to wrap it up: for the next week, your absolute best shot is the Tuesday morning session on the 15th. Big, clean, and powerful. The second week is a long-range watch, with that big swell on the 22nd being the one to circle on your calendar. It might get a bit crowded here at Point Roadnight as word gets out.
Rusty.
