The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. Only one spot on the menu, Point Roadnight, and it's a point break that doesn't fire up all that often, so we gotta be sharp. Water temp is right around 57°F, nothing strange there.
The start of the run is a bit of a dud. Tuesday the 11th is a no-go – a small 3ft SW groundswell with a 15-second period, but the conditions are average and a bit choppy. The combined energy is weak (392), so save your energy.
Wednesday the 12th is when the magic starts. The morning brings a 5ft swell from the SW, with a long 16-second period. This is a proper groundswell, and with a clean offshore wind out of the W, it's going to be some of the best waves of the window. The energy is moderate at 1330. This is for the more experienced crew. The afternoon gets bigger, hitting 10ft from the WSW, but the wind goes cross-offshore, making it a bit more challenging. That's expert-only stuff, with a very strong energy reading of 6870.
Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th are also solid. Both mornings have 7ft SW groundswell (16-second period) with light offshore winds. The energy is strong (over 2000), and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. Clean, powerful lines. The afternoons are a bit less clean with the wind shifting.
Saturday the 15th the swell eases to about 6ft, but still with a good 15-second period and a clean morning. A solid session, but not as good as Wednesday.
Sunday the 16th is a beauty for the early birds. The wind goes dead calm, glassy from the NE, with a clean 4ft SSW swell. The 14-second period gives it some punch. That’s as perfect as it gets around here.
From Monday the 17th onwards, the size drops below 3ft, the wind gets messy, and the energy is weak – mostly under 500. There's a little bump on the 23rd with a 6ft SE swell, but the period is a short 8 seconds, so it'll be a bit mushy and won't hold together well. The last week is pretty much a long gap of poor conditions.
So the golden window is Wednesday the 12th morning through to Sunday the 16th morning. Wednesday and Thursday mornings are the real standouts. After that, it's time to find something else to do.

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.
