The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Point Roadnight over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but this isn’t a total write-off. The swell is small and a bit ordinary for the first few days, but the wind is behaving itself. The real standout is building for the end of the first week and into the second, with some serious groundswell and proper offshore winds lining up. This is a point break that rarely breaks, so when it does, you pay attention.
Thursday 27 August kicks things off small, with a 2.6 ft SSW swell, but the wind is a light cross-offshore in the morning and goes glassy by the afternoon. The combined energy is moderate (202 to 228), so the waves are surfable but very ordinary. It’s clean, but you’ll be working for it.
Friday 28 August is where it starts to get interesting. The swell picks up to 2.6 ft from the SW, but the period jumps to 18 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. Combined energy is strong (681). Afternoon sees the swell nudge up to 3.9 ft with a 17 second period (816 energy). Winds are cross-offshore, and the forecast says expect very good surf conditions. This is a promising start.
Saturday 29 August and Sunday 30 August keep the good vibes going. Clean, 3.6 ft to 4.6 ft SW swell, periods bouncing between 13-14 seconds, with light winds. The energy stays solid (470 to 705). It’s clean, consistent for this spot, and the point should be running nicely.
Monday 31 August is a big one. This is the highlight of the near-term. By the afternoon, we’ve got a 5.6 ft SSW swell, with a 17 second period. The combined energy jumps to 2823 – that’s very strong. The wind goes glassy, and the report says excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers. The swell is pushing over 5 ft, so it’s getting a bit meaty for beginners, but for anyone with a bit of experience, this is the window. The long period (17 seconds) means the point will be handling it beautifully, with those long, walling waves.
Tuesday 1 September and Wednesday 2 September see the wind pick up a bit. The swell drops back to 3.6 ft to 4.3 ft, but periods remain long (14-16 seconds). The winds are moderate cross-offshore, so it’s still clean, but the conditions are described as marginal. The energy is still moderate to strong (549 to 702). It’s still surfable, but not as pristine as the Monday glass-off.
Thursday 3 September is a bit of a dud. The swell drops to 2.6 ft, and the wind picks up to 20 km/h. The report says poor surf conditions. A day to give the board a rest.
Friday 4 September – hold onto your hats. The morning shows a massive 14.8 ft WSW swell, with a 13 second period. The combined energy is a whopping 9788. That’s very strong. However, the wind is a strong cross-offshore at 25 km/h, and the report still says marginal surf. That size is strictly for experts only, and only if you know the lineup. The afternoon drops to 8.2 ft, but still windy. This is a serious weather event, not a casual paddle.
Saturday 5 September and Sunday 6 September are the next big standout. The swell settles into the 6.9 ft to 9.8 ft range from the SW, with a 15-16 second period. The energy is incredibly strong (2155 to 4274). The wind goes light, with Saturday afternoon seeing light offshore winds. The reports say excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers. This is the long-range promise. The swell is over 8 ft, so it’s experts only, but the point break setup with a long period SW groundswell and light winds is a recipe for some serious, grinding waves.
Monday 7 September and Tuesday 8 September keep the quality high. The swell is 5.2 ft to 7.5 ft, still with a 16-17 second period, and the wind goes clean offshore from the WSW and SW. The energy is strong (1473 to 2736). The reports are consistently calling it excellent for experienced surfers. This is a solid run of days.
Wednesday 9 September the swell stays up (6.9 ft to 8.2 ft) but the wind shifts cross-shore, adding a bit of chop. Still good for the experienced, but not as clean as the previous days.
Thursday 10 September and Friday 11 September see the swell drop back to 5.2 ft to 6.2 ft, with a 15-17 second period. The wind is light and cross-offshore on Thursday morning, but gets a bit messy later. The energy is still strong (1105 to 2020). The run of good surf is winding down, but there’s still size and period on offer.
So, to sum it up: the absolute best on offer is Monday 31

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.

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.
