The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, and I’ve got a good old-fashioned look at what’s coming down the line for us. Let’s get into it.
The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s a real standout session that’s got my heart pumping. The water temperature is sitting right around 57°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
The best window we’ve got is kicking off Friday afternoon, September 4th. The swell is a solid 7 ft from the SW with a very long period of 16 seconds, packing a whole lot of energy (2299). That’s a proper groundswell. The wind is a light cross-off from the NW, so things will be clean. This is where Point Roadnight comes alive. That long period means the waves will have real shape and power, but because it’s a point break, it’ll handle that energy beautifully. It’s a rare break, so when it’s on, it’s a real treat. Just be aware crowds are possible, and with wave heights over 5 ft, it’s best for the experienced crew.
Saturday morning, September 5th, is a bit of a write-off. The wind is howling from the NW at 22 mph, and while the swell is still around 5 ft, it’s just too messy to get excited about. The same goes for the afternoon. We’re looking at a couple of days of overhead, choppy conditions.
Sunday morning, September 6th, is a beauty. The wind has swung around to the SW and dropped to a gentle 6 mph, blowing straight offshore. The swell is a clean 4 ft from the SW, with a period of 12 seconds. The energy is moderate (718), but the conditions will be glassy and perfect. It’s a smaller, cleaner day that’s great for a longboard or a funboard.
Tuesday morning, September 8th, is another one to circle on the calendar. The wind is completely glassy, almost nothing from the NW. The swell is a clean 3 ft from the SW, but the period is a massive 18 seconds. That’s about as long as it gets. The energy is strong (1014), and the clean, glassy conditions will make for some silky, long lines. It’s a point break’s dream.
Now, we’ve got a massive pulse coming in. Wednesday afternoon, September 9th, the swell jumps to a solid 12 ft from the SW with a 19-second period. The energy is off the charts (16752). This is big, serious, heavy groundswell. The wind is a fresh 22 mph cross-off, which will keep it reasonably clean, but at this size, it’s strictly for experts only. Over 8 ft and it’s a proper beast.
The swell hangs around in the 8 ft to 10 ft range through Thursday, September 10th, with clean conditions and cross-off winds. It’s still big and powerful, but the consistency will be there.
We get a bit of a lull after that. The following week, from around September 14th onwards, the surf drops off significantly. We get a few days of small, weak swell and less than ideal wind directions. There’s a brief flicker on Saturday morning, September 19th, with a 6 ft, 19-second period swell and glassy conditions from the NNW. The energy is big again (3643), and that glassy surface will be a dream. But the wind direction is a cross-on, so it might get a little wonky. Still, it’s a promising sign for the very end of the run.
So, to sum it up: the absolute standout is Friday afternoon, September 4th for the first proper pulse, and Tuesday morning, September 8th for the glassy perfection. The big Wednesday swell is for the brave. The rest of the second week is a bit of a snooze, but that Saturday morning at the end looks like a glimmer of hope.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
