The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.

We’ve got one spot on the radar: Point Roadnight. It’s a point break that rarely breaks, so when it does line up you gotta pay attention. The next sixteen days start off slow, with the first real action kicking off Tuesday the 8th of September.

Tuesday morning brings a clean 3ft SW swell at 18 seconds – proper long-period groundswell pushing moderate energy (1070). Light offshore winds. It’s not big, but that combo means tidy little waves for those who know the break. Tuesday afternoon nudges up to 5ft from the same direction, still clean and cross-off. Nice start.

Wednesday the 9th gets a lot more serious. Morning sees 8ft SSW swell with a cross-off breeze, but the wind is howling at 22 mph. The energy jumps to a strong 4679 – there’s power, but the strength of the wind makes it a wild one. The standout though is Wednesday afternoon: 12ft SW swell, 18-second period, and an extreme 14115 combined energy. That is a lot of water moving. Wind is still fresh, but cross-off. This is expert territory – over 8ft and punchy. Not for the faint-hearted.

Thursday the 10th drops a notch – 8ft to 8ft SSW swell, moderate breeze, still clean. Choppy and solid, but not the same quality. Friday the 11th is where it gets glassy. Morning has 5ft SSW swell and glass conditions – a dream. That’s the highlight of the first week for me: 5ft, 14-second period, glassed off. Afternoon picks up slightly to 6ft with SSE cross-off, and the wave comment says excellent for experienced surfers. That Friday combo is the real deal.

Saturday the 12th runs 5ft to 5ft SW groundswell, light winds. Nice and clean but nothing to write home about after Friday. Sunday the 13th falls apart – cross-shore wind, poor surf, drops to 3ft. Monday the 14th is even worse – small 2ft swell and strong winds. A couple of days to scrub the board.

Tuesday the 15th comes back to life with 7ft to 7ft SW swell, period 11-12 seconds, clean. Energy is moderate (1555-1918). Worth a paddle if you’re keen. Wednesday the 16th is a solid call – 5ft to 6ft SW with 16-second period, light breeze, clean, and excellent for experienced surfers. That’s another standout in the second week. The energy is strong (2343). Point Roadnight is a point break so that long period will wrap in nicely.

Thursday the 17th holds at 6ft to 5ft, still clean. Friday the 18th goes flat again – tiny, cross-shore, poor. Saturday the 19th blows up: 15ft SW swell, 16-second period, massive energy (12122). That is serious groundswell. Morning is clean but the wind is moderate. This is expert only – 15ft is huge. Afternoon goes cross-shore with 13ft. This is kite-surf territory unless you’re a gun.

Sunday the 20th drops right down to 5ft with a howling 25 mph offshore in the morning, then clean 4ft in the afternoon. Swell is weak after the big day. Monday the 21st is small and clean, around 4ft to 3ft, light winds – a gentle end. Tuesday the 22nd is messy with cross-shore, and Wednesday the 23rd fades to 3ft and poor.

Best on offer? Friday the 11th – glassy, 5ft to 6ft, long period, clean. And Wednesday the 16th – clean, solid 5ft to 6ft, long period, light breeze. Both are dreamy for a point break that rarely fires. The Friday morning glass-off is the absolute pick.

Water temp is about average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.

Rusty.

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.

Point Roadnight is 36 km (22 miles) from the city of Geelong. If you plan a holiday in Torquay, look for hotels and other accommodation in Geelong. Geelong has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
