The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
We’re looking at Point Roadnight, and it’s a bit of a slow starter, but there’s a real window of opportunity for those who can wait. The first few days are a write-off, but hang tight, because Wednesday the 29th through to the weekend is where it’s at.
Tuesday the 28th is a no-go. The swell is small and messy, with a strong cross-shore wind. Not worth your time.
Wednesday the 29th morning is where things start to get interesting. A solid 10ft SW groundswell is rolling in, with a very long 16-second period, and the wind is blowing fresh offshore from the WSW. This is a powerful setup for a point break like this. The combined energy is strong (4888), and the waves will be clean and well-shaped. But, at 10ft, this is expert territory only. By the afternoon, the swell jumps to 13ft from the SW, with the same offshore wind. The energy is very strong (9833), and it’s still clean, but again, you’d better be a seasoned surfer. This is the standout of the whole forecast. The swell direction matches the optimum SSE perfectly, and with offshore wind, it’s going to be a spectacle.
Thursday the 30th is still good, but a step down. The morning sees the swell drop to 6ft from the SSW, with a 13-second period and a moderate offshore wind from the W. The energy is moderate (954), and the waves are clean. This is a great size for intermediate surfers. The afternoon is cleaner still, with a gentle offshore breeze and 5ft SSW swell, but the energy is lower (640).
Friday the 31st morning is clean but small, with 4ft SW swell and a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy is weak (357). The afternoon is glassy, with only 3ft SSW swell and a light breeze. It’s pretty, but not much power.
Saturday the 1st of August is a bit of a mixed bag. The morning is a cross-shore, with 2ft SW swell and a very long 17-second period, but the energy is weak (517) and the wind is poor. The afternoon is the better call: a clean 5ft SW swell with an 18-second period and a gentle cross-offshore breeze. The energy is strong (2522), and the crowd profile says ‘sometimes’ busy, so you might have some company. This is a solid session for experienced surfers.
Sunday the 2nd of August morning is clean but only 5ft SW swell, with moderate energy (1101). The afternoon is cleaner, with a 4ft SW swell and a light breeze, but the energy is lower (839).
From Monday the 3rd of August onwards, the quality drops. The winds become unfavourable, turning onshore and cross-onshore, and the swell period starts to shorten. The 4th and 5th of August are poor, with onshore winds and small, messy swell. From the 6th to the 8th, it’s mostly cross-onshore winds with small swell, not worth paddling out for. The 9th of August is a write-off, with fresh cross-onshore winds and lumpy conditions.
The 10th and 11th see a return to cleaner conditions, but the swell is small and the wind is fresh. The 12th of August afternoon has a promising 5ft SW swell with a very long 19-second period and moderate energy (1581), but the wind is a moderate cross-offshore, which is okay. It’s a marginal call, but worth watching if the forecast holds.
Water temperature at Point Roadnight is 57°, which is about average for this time of year, with only a 0.7° anomaly. Nothing unusual there.
For the best on offer, it’s the Wednesday the 29th, hands down. That 13ft SW groundswell with fresh offshore wind is a rare treat for this spot. It’s a real heavyweight session, so only for the experienced crew. The Saturday the 1st of August afternoon is a solid second pick, with a clean 5ft swell and a long period.
Rusty out.

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.
