Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Point Roadnight is cooking up for us over the next couple of weeks.
The story starts with a bit of a wait. We’ve got a few tough days ahead before anything really gets going. The first few days are a write-off, with small, choppy surf and onshore winds making a mess of things. Hang in there, because the real action kicks off on Tuesday the 14th.
That Tuesday morning is the absolute standout. We’re looking at a serious pulse of swell pushing in, with 15 ft of groundswell from the SW. The wave energy is through the roof (12010), and with a clean offshore breeze from the WSW, this spot will be firing. The period is a long 15 seconds, giving those waves some serious grunt and shape. Now, this is big – over 8 ft – so this is for experts only. Point Roadnight is a point break, which is perfect for handling this kind of long-period swell, so expect some proper, lined-up waves. The crowd factor is noted as “sometimes,” so there will be people out, but it won’t be a complete circus.
The swell eases into the afternoon, dropping to 12 ft, but still holding that offshore wind. It’s still a solid option for the experienced crew, though the score drops a touch.
The rest of the first week stays fun. Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th offer clean, cross-offshore winds with waist-to-chest high swell (5 ft to 6 ft) and moderate energy. Thursday afternoon even goes glassy with zero wind, which will make for some beautiful, silky conditions. These are great days for a wider range of surfers, as it’s not too big.
Into the second week, things get a bit more mixed. Friday the 17th sees a bump in size back to 6 ft with a long 16-second period, but the wind turns onshore and messy, so the quality drops. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th are small and choppy again – a total write-off.
The next real highlight pops up on Tuesday the 21st. In the afternoon, we get a glassy, offshore wind, with a solid 6 ft swell from the WSW. The period is a solid 13 seconds, and the energy is pumping (1382). That afternoon session looks excellent for experienced surfers, with clean, powerful waves and no wind to mess them up.
Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd are a mixed bag – some clean morning sessions with smaller swell, but then the wind turns messy. Thursday morning also shows a jump back up to 8 ft, but with a cross-onshore wind, making it choppy and less appealing.
The final couple of days, from the 24th to the 26th, are mostly a write-off with strong winds and small, messy surf. Not worth wetting a wetsuit for.
So, to sum it up: the absolute best bet is Tuesday the 14th morning for the experts, and Tuesday the 21st afternoon for the experienced crew looking for clean, glassy conditions. Everything else is either a scrap or a wait.
Stay stoked,
Rusty

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.
