Point Roadnight Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Point Roadnight has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

First up, we've got a bit of a wait on our hands. The forecast shows nothing worthwhile until Sunday the 6th of September. That's a couple of days of flatness to get through before things kick off.

Come Sunday afternoon, it’s game on. We’re looking at a solid 8ft SW groundswell, with a period of 14 seconds, pumping in from the SSE direction that this point loves. The combined energy is massive at 2951, so there’s plenty of grunt in the water. What’s really got me smiling is the light offshore breeze out of the SW, keeping it clean. The water temp is 57°, which is about average for this time of year. This is proper experienced surfer territory, and it’s the standout session of the whole forecast. Crowds are possible here sometimes, but for waves this good and clean, it’ll be worth sharing.

Monday the 7th is a write-off. A quick, weak 4ft swell with a short 6-second period and a strong cross-offshore wind from the SSW make for poor conditions.

Tuesday the 8th is a different story. The morning brings a lovely 3ft groundswell from the SW, but with a very long 18-second period. With a light offshore wind, it’ll be clean and lined up. The energy is still strong at 1107. That very long period means it might wall up a bit at this point break, but the offshore wind should keep it tidy. The afternoon is similar with 5ft waves, also looking very good.

Wednesday the 9th sees the swell jump back up to 8ft, but the wind swings to a strong cross-offshore, making it messy and marginal.

Thursday the 10th morning is another standout. We’ve got an 8ft SSW groundswell, 16-second period, and this time a clean offshore wind from the WSW. The energy is huge at 4172, and it’s described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is one of the best windows. The afternoon gets a bit bumpy with a cross-offshore wind.

Friday the 11th offers solid 5ft waves with long 14-15 second periods, and while the wind is cross-offshore, the surf is still very good.

The weekend of the 12th and 13th sees a drop in quality as onshore and cross-shore winds mess up a declining swell. Monday the 14th is small and wind-affected.

The following week has some promise, but it’s less certain. Tuesday the 15th morning brings a nice 6ft SW swell with a light cross-offshore wind and clean conditions. The afternoon jumps to 10ft but gets messy again. Wednesday the 16th looks clean with 5-6ft waves.

Thursday the 17th afternoon is a big, raw one: a massive 15ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period, but with a fresh cross-offshore wind. The energy is off the charts at 11928, but it’s described as marginal. This is big-wave territory for experts only.

Friday the 18th through Saturday the 19th offers more solid swell but with strong winds. Saturday afternoon brings a 10ft SW swell with a fresh offshore wind, which could be worth a look for the experienced crew.

We finish off on Monday the 21st of September with a very nice surprise. The afternoon session shows 5ft of SW groundswell, 14-second period, and the wind is dead calm – glassy. The energy is still strong at 1515, and it’s labelled as excellent for experienced surfers. A beautiful way to end the outlook.

So, to sum it up: the absolute best bets are Sunday afternoon the 6th and Thursday morning the 10th for the clean, powerful waves. Keep an eye on that glassy Monday the 21st, too. There’s plenty of action for those who know what they’re doing.

Rusty.
