The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Point Roadnight over the next couple of weeks.

First up, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The beginning of the period is pretty ordinary, with small, weak swell and not much to get excited about. Things will start to build, but it’s not until Thursday the 23rd of July that we see any real action. That’s when a solid SW groundswell rolls in, and the conditions start to align.

The standout window is definitely the weekend of the 25th and 26th of July. On Saturday afternoon, the 25th, we’re looking at a solid 12 ft SW swell with a clean offshore wind from the W. This is proper, heavy stuff – over 8 ft, so this is for experienced surfers only. The wave energy is cranking (4609), and it’s going to be a powerful, hollow wave. This is the best on offer.

Sunday the 26th cleans up a bit with a 4 ft SSW swell and a gentle offshore breeze. It’s a much more manageable size, and conditions will be clean and glassy. The energy is moderate (475), but the shape should be good for those in the know. This is your best bet for a fun, less hectic session.

Now, Point Roadnight is a point break that *rarely breaks*, so when it does, it’s a special event. It’s also a spot that can get a crowd *sometimes*, so get there early if you can. The swell direction from the SSE is a perfect match for this spot, meaning it’s going to wrap in nicely.

For the following week, the swell sticks around, but the winds are a bit more mixed. The 28th and 29th of July see some chunky 8 ft to 8 ft SSW groundswells with very long periods (16-17 seconds). This kind of energy is a dream for a point break like this, offering long, racy walls. The winds are a bit cross-shore, so the surface won’t be as perfect as the weekend, but there will still be waves.

Later on, around the 30th and 31st of July, the swell remains significant, but the wind shifts to a light cross-on or cross-onshore breeze. The wave energy is massive (over 5000), but the conditions will be a bit bumpy. It’s still a heavy swell, over 10 ft, so it’s for experts only, but the wind is a bit of a letdown.

After that, the first few days of August see a rapid drop-off in quality and size. The wind turns onshore and the swell fades, leaving us with poor, choppy conditions. It’s a bit of a flat spell to finish the outlook.

So, to wrap it up: the best surf is on Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th of July. Saturday is for the big dogs, Sunday is for everyone else who wants a clean, fun wave. Don’t sleep on it.

Rusty.
