The Lowdown

Righto, grab a coffee and listen up. Let’s talk about Point Roadnight. It’s a point break that doesn’t wake up often, but when it does, it’s worth a look.

We’re kicking off Friday the 31st of July with some clean, fun-sized waves. The swell is coming in from the SW at 4 ft with a 12-second period, giving the lines a bit of push. The wind is a light WNW cross-off and the water is sitting at 57°, which is about average for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate (371). It’s not huge, but it’s clean and peeling – a good way to start the weekend.

The surf improves a touch into Friday afternoon. The wind swings S at 3 mph, keeping it glassy and the swell ticks up a little in energy (409). Still in that 3 to 4 ft range, but with a nice SSW direction. It’s looking real tidy.

Saturday the 1st of August brings some interesting energy. The swell period jumps to 17 seconds – that’s proper groundswell – and the combined energy goes ballistic at 2097 by the afternoon. However, the swell is coming in at 5 ft from the SW with a light cross wind. This is a point break, so that long-period energy will wrap in nicely, but the wind isn’t perfect. It’s still surfable, but the tide might be a bit of a fiddle. The crowd situation at Point Roadnight is only *sometimes* a problem, but with this sort of energy, you can expect a few locals out. Not a standout, but the power is there for those who know the take-off.

Sunday the 2nd gets messy. The wind jumps to 12 mph from the north, putting a cross-chop on the face. The swell drops back to 4 ft and the energy fades to 771. Monday and Tuesday are more of the same – moderate breezes and average waves. We don’t see a real standout again until the afternoon of Thursday the 13th of August. That afternoon delivers a solid 5 ft SW swell with a 17-second period, offshore wind from the W at 12 mph, and a combined energy of 1184. The conditions come together for some clean, lined-up waves. This is a good window.

Then, hold onto your board. Friday the 14th of August is the standout of the whole run. We’ve got a 6 ft SW swell with a 19-second period in the morning, and offshore winds from the WSW at 19 mph. The energy jumps to 2456. This is big, powerful, groundswell. At 6 ft on a point, it’s getting juicy – too big for beginners, but a proper test for anyone with experience. The wind holds offshore into the afternoon with 6 ft and 18-second swell. This is your best shot. It’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it, but if it comes together, it’ll be cranking.

Saturday the 15th still has some leftover size at 5 ft with a moderate cross-off wind, but the energy has dropped back to 1082. Worth a paddle if you missed Friday, but not the same quality.

Overall, there’s a lean stretch in the middle, but that window from Thursday the 13th into Saturday the 15th has some real potential, with Friday 14th being the clear highlight. Don’t sleep on it.

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.

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.
