The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there’s some decent action building later on for Point Roadnight. This is a point break that’s a real gem, but it’s one of those spots that rarely breaks – you need the right swell, and right now the window is opening and closing. For the first few days, it’s all about the size and power, but the conditions are a bit messy for a paddle. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing too crazy.
Right off the bat, Tuesday the 15th kicks off with a solid 8.2ft SW swell and a long 13-second period, packing some serious grunt – combined energy of 3456 (moderate to strong). Wind is WSW at 15.5 mph and offshore, so the surface is clean, but the wave comment says it’s marginal, and the tide might be a problem. That kind of size at a point that rarely breaks could be a handful, but for an expert, it’s worth a look. Wednesday the 16th drops a fraction to 7.5ft from the SSW, with a 15-second period – that’s a groundswell, proper long. The energy’s still up around 2365, and the wind is cross-off from the south at 15.5 mph, so the waves are clean, but again, it’s borderline for the average punter.
By Thursday the 17th, the swell eases to 5.2ft from the SSW, period 14 seconds, and the energy drops to 1072 (moderate). Wind is a gentle cross-off from the SW at 9.3 mph, and the conditions are clean. This is more manageable, but the score is still modest. Friday the 18th has a mix – morning sees 4.3ft SSW swell, 14 seconds, with a NW cross-off at 12.4 mph, energy 1143. The afternoon picks up a bit to 5.2ft SW, 16 seconds, energy 1747. It’s all clean but marginal.
Saturday the 19th is a write-off – swell drops to 3.6ft and then 3.3ft, energy falls to 361, not worth the drive.
Sunday the 20th morning is even worse – 2.0ft and cross-shore wind making a lumpy mess, score zero. But hold on – Sunday afternoon brings a spike: 13.1ft from the WSW, 12-second period, and the energy rockets to 4450 (strong). Wind is cross-off from the west at 12.4 mph, so it’s clean. That’s a big wave, only for experts, and at a point that rarely breaks, it could be an epic session if you’re on it. The crowds are sometimes a factor here, so you might have company.
Monday the 21st settles to 6.2ft in the morning (energy 1244) and then 7.5ft in the afternoon (energy 2742), both SSW, with gentle cross-off winds. Tuesday the 22nd has onshore wind from the ENE in the morning, ruining it, then a light cross-on in the afternoon. Not worth it.
Now we get to the real standout. Wednesday the 23rd morning is glassy – wind is NNW at 3.1 mph, zero chop. The swell is 3.9ft SSW, 14 seconds, energy 565. That’s clean, small, and perfect for a longboard or a funboard. The afternoon stays clean with a light cross-off. Thursday the 24th is tiny, 2.0ft to 2.3ft, glassy but barely surfable.
Friday the 25th morning is glassy again, 3.6ft SW, 14 seconds, energy 462 – another small but clean window. The afternoon gets a 4.6ft SW, 17-second groundswell, energy 1487, but with a light cross-on wind, it’s okay but not perfect.
Saturday the 26th is the absolute best on offer. Morning: 6.2ft SSW, 16 seconds, energy 2606, with a light cross-off from the WNW – clean and powerful. The afternoon: 6.9ft SW, 19 seconds – that’s a very long period groundswell, energy 3290, with a light offshore from the west. These are excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The long period will make the waves peaky and powerful, but at a point break like this, it should line up nicely. Crowds are possible, but the quality will draw a few.
Sunday the 27th has heavy rain and a 6.6ft SW swell, 17 seconds, but the wind is a fresh cross-off from the south at 12.4 mph. The morning is clean, but the afternoon gets a cross-shore from the SSE at 18.6 mph, lumpy and messy. Monday the 28th and Tuesday the 29th are smaller, 4.3ft to 3.9ft, with cross-off winds, clean but nothing special. Wednesday the 30th morning ends the run with a 3.9ft SW swell, 15 seconds, energy 697,

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.
