The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Point Roadnight over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, we’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands. The first few days are pretty average, with only small, weak swell. The real action doesn’t kick off until Thursday, July 23rd. From there, we get a few promising windows, but the consistency is a bit spotty, with some real dud days in between.
The best of the best is going to be Thursday, July 23rd. We’ve got a solid 6 ft SW groundswell pumping in with a 14-second period. The wind is a gentle offshore breeze from the west, which will have Point Roadnight looking absolutely clean. The combined swell energy is a solid 1203, so there’s some proper power behind it. This is the standout session, no doubt. It’s not a big, scary wave, but it’s got enough push for a fun intermediate session. Just keep in mind, this spot is a rare one, and it can draw a crowd sometimes, so get in early.
The other day that’s worth a mention is Friday, July 24th. The swell is a touch bigger at 7 ft from the SSW, with a 15-second period. The energy is even stronger at 1788, so it’s got some grunt. The wind is a light breeze from the south, keeping things clean. This one is better suited for the experienced crew, as that size and power can get a bit serious for beginners.
The water temperature is sitting at 58°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, nothing wild there.
There’s a few other days with some swell, like July 29th, but the wind is howling out of the southwest at 28 mph. That’s a strong offshore, which will make it clean but incredibly hard to paddle into. It’s more of a challenge than a fun session.
Honestly, if you’re looking for a proper surf, lock in the 23rd. The 24th is also solid, but it’s a bit more of a handful. The rest of the window is a mix of small, weak swell and shifty winds, so it’s a bit of a waiting game.
Rusty.

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.
