The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at the next couple of weeks, and it’s a tale of two halves. The first week is pretty frustrating, with only brief windows of clean surf, but it’s all leading up to a proper pulse of energy in the second week that will get the blood pumping.

Point Roadnight is the only spot on the map, and it’s a rare-breaker, so any surf we get here is a bit of a treat. It’s a point break that needs the right swell and wind, and it’s not going to be a walk in the park; it’s an intermediate-level wave. The water temp is about average for this time of year, which is what we’d expect.

The first few days, Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th, look pretty grim. We’ve got swell around 4ft and 5ft, but the wind is a cross-off moderate breeze and the quality is just poor. Tuesday afternoon we do get a period check of 11 seconds and an offshore wind, but the rating is still just marginal. You’d be fighting for scraps.

Wednesday the 5th is the first real glimmer of hope. The wind drops to a gentle offshore breeze and the swell is a clean 5ft in the morning from the SW, with a period of 9 seconds. The energy is moderate (621). The afternoon is better, with the swell easing slightly to 5ft but the period jumping to a very long 14 seconds, and the energy picking up to 1098. This is the pick of the first week, but it’s a rare-break spot, so you’ve got to be there at the right tide. It’s going to be clean with that offshore wind.

Thursday and Friday are mostly average, with small, clean but weak waves around 2ft to 3ft. Friday afternoon is worth a look though, with a light offshore wind and a 3ft swell at 15 seconds, making it very clean.

Saturday the 8th is a complete write-off, with a moderate cross-shore breeze and poor, choppy waves. Kite surfers might have a ball, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a day for the beach.

Sunday the 9th is small and marginal, with a fresh offshore breeze that will make it clean but the energy is weak (255-286). Then, things start to change.

Monday the 10th sees a new pulse of energy, with a 5ft SW swell at 17 seconds. It’s a long-period groundswell, which is great for a point break like this. The energy is strong (1404). It’s still labelled as marginal, but this is the start of the good stuff.

The next few days build and hold this energy. Tuesday the 11th has clean 4ft surf with a nice light offshore breeze in the afternoon.

Then it gets serious. Wednesday the 12th into Thursday the 13th is the standout period. Wednesday afternoon sees the swell jump to a solid 10ft with a strong energy reading of 4984. Thursday morning is the real beast, though: an 12ft SW swell with a period of 11 seconds, an offshore wind, and excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The energy is a massive 4678. This is big, powerful Point Roadnight, and you need to know what you’re doing. It’s over the 8ft mark, so it’s experts-only territory.

After that peak, it backs off a bit. Friday the 14th is clean and much more manageable with 5ft surf. The next weekend sees another big swell arrive. Saturday the 15th has 8ft surf with a very long 20-second period, and the energy is strong (4072). It’s clean but cross-off. Sunday the 16th is the biggest day of the entire run, with an 12ft SW swell packing a phenomenal energy count of 11524. The only issue is a gentle cross-shore wind, which will put some texture on the face. For a point break, that’s a minor caveat on an otherwise massive day. This is promising, but being that far out, it’s a call we’ll have to keep an eye on.

Monday the 17th brings it down a notch with a clean 5ft wave and a light offshore breeze in the morning, but the afternoon sees another 10ft pulse roll in with excellent conditions for the experienced crew.

So, to sum it up. The first week is a write-off, with only Wednesday the 5th offering a clean, rideable window. The real standouts are Thursday the 13th and the 10ft+ days of Saturday the 15th, Sunday the 16th, and Monday the 17th. These are the big, powerful days for experts. For everyone else, look at Tuesday the 11th or Friday the 14th as your cleaner, more manageable windows. It’s going to be a good run.

Rusty.

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.
