Alright folks, Rusty here, looking at the 16-day outlook for Point Roadnight. It’s a bit of a slow burner, but there are some moments that’ll get the blood pumping if you’re patient.
We’re starting with a bit of a dud. Sunday the 5th is a write-off, with an 8ft SSW swell on the cards but it’s blowing 12 mph from the southeast, making it a total mess. The water’s sitting at 58°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Monday the 6th is still a struggle. The swell drops to 4ft, and the wind is all over the place. It’s a marginal day, and honestly, I’d not bother. The energy is weak (822), so you’re just fighting for scraps.
Now, Tuesday the 7th is where we get our first real tease. It’s a morning session only. We’ve got a 4ft SW groundswell, but the magic is in the wind: glassy. Dead flat, clean conditions. The period is a very long 17 seconds, so those waves will have some serious push and shape. This is a prime window for a point break like Point Roadnight, just watch the sets – they’ll be fat and waiting. It’s the best on offer in the first week, but it’s small. The energy is moderate (675).
Wednesday the 8th looks a bit more energetic with a 5ft SW swell in the afternoon, but the onshore wind from the east at 6 mph will mess up the face. The combined energy is moderate (1579), but the quality is spoiled.
Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th are small and marginal again. That Friday afternoon (10 July) does get glassy, but with only 3ft on offer and a combined energy of 454, it’s a bit of a rebound day. Not worth a special trip.
The weekend of the 11th and 12th is a full stop. The swell is tiny, the wind is onshore and strong, and the energy is pathetic (down to 81). A total blank run. This stretch of poor conditions lasts for a few days, right through the 13th.
We get a little buzz on Tuesday the 14th morning. The wind swings south at 3 mph, giving us a clean cross-off breeze. The swell is only 3ft, but the energy is moderate (487) and the air is clean. It’s a longboarder’s secret, but not the main event.
The real action shows up in the second week. Thursday the 16th is a big day. The afternoon sees a 10ft SW swell hammering in, with a fresh 19 mph offshore wind from the southwest. That’s an expert-only scenario. The combined energy is a massive 4876, meaning it’s strong and powerful. This is a heavy, raw session for the crew who know what they’re doing. The same morning is a 5ft affair with similar offshore wind, also worth a look.
Then, hold onto your board, because Monday the 20th is the standout. The morning session is glassy, with a 8ft SW swell and a combined energy of 2967. The period is a solid 16 seconds. It’s excellent, clean, and powerful. The afternoon gets a bit of a cross-on breeze, but the morning is the one. This is the best of the whole forecast – a true winner for experienced surfers.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a scratch for the most part, with a brief, clean window on Tuesday the 7th. The second week builds into a solid, powerful run, with the clear winner being the morning of Monday the 20th. Mark it on your calendar, it’s a cracker.
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.

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.
