Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what we’ve got coming down the line. It’s a bit of a slow start, so don’t rush to grab your board just yet. The first proper window of hope shapes up a little later.

Right now, we’re looking at Point Roadnight. It’s a point break that doesn’t fire all that often, so when the stars line up, you have to pay attention. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

The week kicks off with a lot of marginal stuff. Monday the 6th sees some small, long-period groundswell from the SSW at about 4 ft, but the wind is cross-onshore and it’s all a bit wonky. Not worth paddling out. Tuesday the 7th morning is your first real teaser – the wind goes glassy and we’ve got a 4 ft SSW groundswell with a 17-second period. The energy is moderate (677 combined) and the conditions are clean. It’s small, but it’s the first clean moment of the week. Wednesday the 8th picks up a bit, with the swell hitting 5 ft in the afternoon and the combined energy climbing into the moderate-to-strong range (1597). That’s a bigger, longer-period SW groundswell (18 seconds), but the wind is cross-onshore, which takes the shine off. It’s still surfable, but you’ll want to keep your expectations in check.

Then we hit a bit of a flat, windy spell from Thursday the 9th through the weekend. The surf gets smaller and the wind turns nasty, with a few days of cross-shore chop and even some poor surf. Sunday the 12th is a write-off with rain and moderate wind. Just leave the boards at home for that.

Now, here’s the stand-out window. Monday the 13th of July is the one to circle on the calendar. The morning has a 4 ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period and clean, moderate offshore wind from the WSW. The combined energy is solid (1258). That’s a proper point-break day – long lines, clean faces, and that offshore will groom it to perfection. It’s not huge, but for this spot, it’s the best of the run. Tuesday the 14th is bigger but sloppier, and the wind is more cross-off, so the quality drops off a bit. Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th mornings both offer cleaner conditions again, with 5 ft SW groundswell and light offshore winds. That Thursday morning has glassy air and very good conditions on paper for a 5 ft SSW swell (829 moderate energy).

The second week starts to fade. Friday the 17th is clean but small, and by Saturday the 18th the wind swings back onshore and the combined energy drops. Expect a few days of poor, choppy surf right through to the 21st. On Tuesday the 21st of July morning, we get a late pulse of 5 ft SSW groundswell with clean offshore wind – worth a look if you’re patient, but it’s a long way out and things can change.

So, the best bet is Tuesday morning the 7th for that glassy dawn patrol, but the real standout is Monday the 13th with clean offshore wind and a nice long-period groundswell. That’s the one.

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. 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.

Point Roadnight is 36 km (22 miles) from the city of Geelong. If you plan a holiday in Torquay, look for hotels and other accommodation in Geelong. Geelong has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
