The Lowdown

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's coming up for Point Roadnight. This is one of those point breaks that doesn't fire all that often – it's a rare setup, so when it lines up, you pay attention.

The start of the week is a no-go. Monday the 14th is tiny, with a weak 2ft SW swell and a period around 13-14 seconds, but it's cross-off and the combined energy is a feeble 163, so it's not even worth strapping in. It stays pretty quiet through to Monday afternoon, with the same story of clean but powerless surf.

The real action kicks off on Tuesday the 15th. Tuesday morning sees a solid jump, with a 6ft SW swell and a period of 13 seconds, paired with a fresh offshore WSW wind at 19 mph. The combined energy is a meaty 1320, which is a big step up. This is a proper standout window – clean, offshore, and a decent size that's still manageable for intermediates. The afternoon builds further to 8ft SW with a 14-second period and the same offshore wind, energy pumping at 2323. This is the best on offer for the whole forecast: a rare break, an offshore breeze, and a solid groundswell.

Wednesday the 16th keeps the energy high, with 10ft SW on the morning and a 15-second period, but the wind shifts cross-off from the S. The combined energy of 5939 means strong wave energy, and that's a serious size – over 8ft, so this is expert territory only. It's clean, but big and powerful. The afternoon backs off a bit but is still solid.

Thursday the 17th is good too, with the swell dropping to 6ft SSW in the morning, cross-off from the SW, and combined energy of 1175. The afternoon holds at 5ft SSW. Both sessions are clean and described as "very good surf conditions."

From Friday the 18th through the weekend, the swell eases. Friday morning has 4ft SSW with a long 16-second period, but it's marginal. Saturday the 19th drops to 4ft and then 3ft, and by Sunday the 20th it's back to weak energy. There's a brief window Sunday afternoon with a 4ft SW and a short 7-second period, but the wind is offshore from the W, which is a plus.

The second week gets messy. Monday the 21st has cross-on winds and a building 7ft SSW swell, but it's choppy. Tuesday the 22nd has a solid 7ft SSW with a 16-second period, but the wind is cross-shore and light, so it won't be clean. Wednesday the 23rd offers a glimmer, with 6ft SW and a 16-second period in the morning, then a standout afternoon with 5ft SW and a proper offshore SSW wind at 16 mph, combined energy of 1247 – clean and juicy again. That's your second standout: Wednesday the 23rd afternoon.

After that, it fades. From Thursday the 24th, the swell drops to 4ft and under, with cross-on winds and poor conditions for the rest of the month. There's a tiny uptick on Sunday the 29th morning with 6ft SSW, but it's only marginal.

To wrap it up: the absolute pick is Tuesday the 15th, both morning and afternoon, with 6ft to 8ft SW swell, offshore winds, and pumping energy. The secondary standout is Wednesday the 23rd afternoon, with 5ft SW and clean offshore conditions. Remember, this break rarely works, so when it does, you don't hesitate. The water temperature isn't flagged as unusual, so expect it's about average for this time of year.

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.
