Point Roadnight Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it. We've got a long 16-day window ahead, but don't get too excited straight away. It's a slow start, but there's a real gem waiting for us if we're patient.

The first few days are a write-off. Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th are a complete mess with lumpy, cross-onshore winds and barely a ripple. The combined energy is a paltry 236 to 243 at Point Roadnight, so don't even bother. Things are a bit flat and messy right through until Tuesday the 11th. We're looking at a gap of about three days with nothing worth paddling out for.

But then, the switch flips. Wednesday the 12th is where it starts to get interesting. We've got a solid 5ft to 5ft of groundswell from the SW, with a period of 16 seconds, and the energy is pumping hard (1129 to 1443). Wednesday morning has a moderate offshore wind, which is a huge plus, making for some clean, powerful lines. This is for the more experienced crew though, getting up there in size.

The real standout, the one you circle on the calendar, is Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th. This is the best of the whole run. We're looking at 6ft to 6ft of SW groundswell, with that same long 15-second period. The combined energy is massive, hitting 1569 to 1589. The wind is light and offshore or cross-off, setting up what the data calls "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." This is serious, powerful point-break swell. It's big enough to keep the beginners out of the water, but for the guys who know what they're doing, Point Roadnight is going to be absolutely firing. The water temp is about 57°, which is normal for this time of year.

After that peak, the swell eases through the weekend and into the following week. The 17th and 18th drop back to the 2ft to 3ft range, and the winds get a bit tricky. There's a promising moment on the morning of Sunday the 23rd, with a 4ft SW groundswell and glassy conditions, the energy is a respectable 980. That's a solid early-morning option for a clean, fun session.

For the last few days, the 24th, we've got a consistent 4ft of SW swell with light cross-off winds, keeping things clean and rideable. It's not the heavy stuff of the 13th and 14th, but it's a lovely way to finish the outlook.

So, to sum it up: suffer through the early flat spell, then get ready for Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th. That's the prime window. The swell direction is a perfect match for the optimum for Point Roadnight, and with those offshore winds, it's a no-brainer. It's a point break that's rarely breaking, so when it comes together like this, you don't miss it. Keep an eye on the crowds, it's a spot that can get busy when it's good.

Rusty.
