The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming up at Point Roadnight. This spot’s a rare one to see any action, so when it does pulse, you gotta pay attention. The biggest window is shaping up around the middle of next week, but there’s a few smaller windows earlier if you’re keen.
First up, Saturday the 5th of September is a no-go. We’ve got rain showers and a strong NW wind howling at 22 mph, making it a cross-off mess. The swell’s there at 5 ft from the SW with a 15-second period, but the combined energy is a whopping 1210 (moderate), and it’s just not clean. Save your energy.
Sunday the 6th is a different story. The wind swings around to a light SW offshore at 6 mph, and that’s a major positive. The morning sees a 3 ft SW swell with a 14-second period, and the afternoon builds to 4 ft. The combined energy sits at 528 and 533 (moderate). It’s clean, glassy, and the sort of small, fun wave this rarely-breaking point can offer. Not a standout, but a solid little session.
The real standout is Tuesday the 8th of September. We’re looking at glassy conditions in the morning with a WNW wind at just 3 mph. The swell is 3 ft from the SW with a very long 18-second period, and the combined energy is 1014 (moderate). That’s a groundswell, and at a point break like this, it’s going to line up beautifully. The afternoon sees the swell jump to 5 ft with a 17-second period, energy at 1073 (moderate), and clean cross-off winds. This is the pick of the first week – clean, long-period waves that will hold shape.
Now, Wednesday the 9th of September gets interesting but tricky. The swell packs a punch, hitting 8 ft in the morning with a 16-second period, and the combined energy rockets to 5155 (strong). By the afternoon, it’s a solid 13 ft with a 19-second period and energy at 17113 (very strong). That’s proper, heavy groundswell. But the wind is a cross-off at 19-22 mph, which will keep it choppy. This is expert-only territory – over 8 ft and big. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so a spring suit is fine.
The rest of the week drops off. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th still have decent swell (8 ft to 10 ft, 16-17 second periods), but the wind stays cross-off or cross, and the energy is high (3365 to 4751). It’s powerful but not as clean. Friday the 11th morning has a light SW offshore at 6 mph, with a 6 ft SW swell and 15-second period – that’s your last worthwhile window before the weekend.
From Saturday the 12th of September onward, it’s a long gap of poor surf. The swell drops to 6 ft and below, the wind goes cross or cross-on, and the energy fades. By the 14th, it’s down to 2 ft and the scores are zero. There’s a tiny glimmer on Sunday the 13th of September afternoon with ENE wind at 3 mph, glassy, and a 5 ft SW swell, but it’s a one-off. The second week is mostly flat, with a few 4 ft pulses on the 18th and 19th of September, but the wind is messy and the energy is low (around 439-648). The 20th of September has a 2 ft swell with a 21-second period, but again, it’s marginal.
Your best bet is Tuesday the 8th of September – glassy, clean, and that long-period groundswell will be a treat at the point. If you want bigger but messier, Wednesday the 9th is for experts only. Otherwise, the first week has a few small windows, then it’s a long wait for anything decent.
Stay salty,
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.
