The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, it’s been a bit quiet out there, but we’ve got a decent run building at Point Roadnight. This spot is a point break and it rarely breaks, so when it does, you sit up and pay attention. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

Friday the 28th kicks things off in the morning with a clean 3 ft swell from the SW, super long 18-second period – proper groundswell energy. Winds are a gentle cross-off from the WNW at 9 mph, so the surface will be tidy. The combined energy is moderate at 681. The arvo builds to 4 ft with the same direction, period drops to 17 seconds, and the energy jumps to 911. Still clean, light winds. Not huge, but for a break that doesn’t fire often, this is a solid start.

Saturday the 29th: morning starts clean again – 4 ft SW swell, 14-second period, light airs. The real standout is Saturday afternoon: 7 ft of SW swell, 14-second period, and the combined energy goes right up to 2293 – that’s strong. Winds are cross-off from the S at 9 mph, so it’s clean. This is the pick of the first few days – excellent for experienced surfers. If you’re a beginner, that size is probably pushing it.

Sunday the 30th brings light offshore winds in the morning (W at 3 mph) with a 5 ft SSW swell, 13-second period. Clean and glassy corners. Afternoon sees a cross-off breeze, same size, still very good.

Monday the 31st morning is absolute glass – NNW wind at just 3 mph, 5 ft SW swell, 15-second period. The energy is 1070. That morning session will be butter. The afternoon turns a bit cross-on and the score drops off.

Tuesday 1st September through Thursday 3rd September stays rideable, with 4 ft to 5 ft SW swells, 14 to 16-second periods, mostly cross-off winds, but the wind picks up on the 1st with a moderate breeze from the NW. The quality dips a bit – still surfable, but not the peak.

Now, here’s the big news. Friday 4th September: swell jumps to 7 ft in the morning and 8 ft in the afternoon, SW direction, 14 to 15-second period. Combined energy hits 1657 and then 2264. Winds are cross-off from the WNW, so it stays clean. This is expert territory, but the setup looks great.

Saturday 5th September is messy – 8 ft in the morning with a cross-on wind makes it choppy. The afternoon has a fresh NW breeze, but it’s cross-off and clean, with a 7 ft swell. For kite surfers, Saturday’s morning onshore conditions might look more interesting than paddle surfing.

Sunday 6th September: light rain and a cross-off breeze, 5 ft swell. The afternoon kicks up to 12 ft with a fresh NW breeze – big and clean, but only for the experienced. Energy is 4063.

Monday 7th September is the absolute standout of the entire forecast. Morning has rain showers but fresh offshore winds from the WSW at 22 mph, 12 ft SSW swell, 14-second period, energy at 4460. The afternoon is even better: same offshore strength, 12 ft SW swell, and the combined energy absolutely roars at 7911. That is strong wave energy. This is for experts only, and it will be a session to remember if you can get out there. The offshore wind will keep it lined up and hollow.

Tuesday 8th September morning stays solid – 12 ft SW swell, offshore from the WSW at 12 mph, energy at 4857. Still excellent for the experienced. The afternoon drops back to 5 ft, still clean. Crowds at Point Roadnight can show up sometimes, so keep that in mind for the bigger days.

Wednesday 9th and Thursday 10th September taper off to 4 ft to 5 ft, clean, with Thursday morning offering another 5 ft SW swell, long 18-second period and energy at 1385 – a nice little pulse for the crew who missed the big stuff.

Friday 11th September is small and cross-on, not worth paddling. Saturday 12th September closes the outlook with a big 10 ft SW swell, 16-second period in the afternoon, combined energy at 7704, and cross-off winds. Again, only for the experienced.

Overall, the best on offer is Monday 7th September afternoon – that offshore wind with 12 ft and that massive energy will be the session of the month if you’ve got the skills. Saturday 29th August afternoon is the pick for the first week for the intermediate crowd.

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.
