The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here.

Look, I’m not gonna lie to you – the next 16 days at Point Roadnight are a bit of a mixed bag, but there are some absolute crackers in there if you time it right. This spot is a point break that rarely breaks, so when it comes alive, it’s a real treat. The water temp is sitting around 57°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The pattern starts off slow. Wednesday morning the 26th sees a 3ft SSW swell, but it’s cross-off and the whole thing feels marginal. Not worth paddling out for. Thursday the 27th is even smaller, with 3ft SSW swell Thursday morning and dropping to 2ft by the afternoon. Thursday afternoon does turn glassy though, so if you’re desperate for a glide, you could get a few dribblers.

Now, Friday the 28th is where things start to get interesting. The morning brings a 3ft SW groundswell, period a solid 18 seconds, with offshore wind. The combined energy is moderate (719). That’s a very good sign – the waves will have shape and power. The afternoon bumps up to 4ft SW, still clean. This is a genuine standout for the first week.

Saturday the 29th afternoon is a big one. The swell pushes up to 7ft SW, with a solid 14-second period, and the combined energy is strong (2229). It’s clean and cross-off. This is for experienced surfers only – it’ll be too big for beginners. The crowd factor is there sometimes, so be ready to share.

Sunday the 30th morning is glassy, with a 4ft SSW swell and 13-second period. Combined energy is moderate (703). That’s a beautiful window for a clean, fun session. The afternoon holds at 5ft, still clean.

There’s a bit of a lull from Monday the 31st through to Tuesday the 1st of September. The swell drops, wind turns cross-shore, and the conditions are marginal. Not worth getting excited about.

Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are similar – small, messy, and marginal. Thursday the 3rd afternoon does have a 3ft SW swell with offshore wind, but it’s not a standout.

Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th are a write-off. Strong winds, lumpy conditions, and the swell is there but it’s not clean. The combined energy on Saturday morning is very strong (2871), but with 16 mph cross-off wind, it’s not going to be pretty. This setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Then we hit the real gold. Sunday the 6th of September morning kicks off with a 7ft SW swell, 14-second period, offshore wind, and combined energy of 1977. Excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon holds at 7ft, clean. Monday the 7th is just as good – 7ft SW, offshore, clean. Tuesday the 8th morning is a standout: 6ft SW, 18-second period, offshore, glassy, with combined energy of 2557. That’s a very long period groundswell at a point break – it’s going to be perfect. The afternoon keeps it going at 5ft.

The last few days fade out. Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th are marginal, but Thursday the 10th afternoon throws up a massive 13ft SW swell, 13-second period, offshore, with combined energy of 7533. That is exceptional for expert surfers only. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it – but if it hits, it’ll be a day to remember.

Best on offer: Saturday the 29th afternoon for a solid, clean swell, and the whole stretch from Sunday the 6th to Tuesday the 8th of September for consistent, clean, powerful groundswell. The 10th of September is the wildcard but it’s a long way off.

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.
