G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at this Point Roadnight forecast for a while now. This is a classic setup where the waiting game is on. The first few days are a bit of a letdown, with the best stuff coming in the second week. The first real standout is Tuesday morning, the 7th of July, with a glassy 4ft swell from the SW. That’s a rare moment of perfection for a wave that rarely breaks, so if you’re a local who knows the bank, that’s your window. The real standout, though, is Monday the 13th of July. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a massive 9561, which is very strong, with a 13ft SW swell. That’s expert territory, and only for those who know the reef. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.

Alright, let’s break it down. The forecast kicks off on Saturday, the 4th of July. The morning is the best of the early window with a 12ft SW swell and a light offshore wind from the WSW, making for clean, excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The combined energy is 4839 – strong. But by the afternoon, it drops to 8ft and the wind goes cross-off, still clean but the score drops. Sunday the 5th is a write-off with strong cross-onshore winds and a messy 8ft SSW swell. Monday the 6th is small and weak, with a 4ft SSW swell and light cross-shore winds, leaving a marginal mess. Tuesday the 7th is the jewel of the first week. The morning is glassy with a 4ft SW swell, period 17 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell, perfect for a point break like this. Combined energy is 1145, moderate. The afternoon stays clean with a light cross-off breeze. Wednesday the 8th is a bit of a letdown with a 4ft to 5ft SW swell, but the wind is cross-shore, making it choppy and marginal. Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th are poor, with small, messy surf and onshore winds. The weekend of the 11th and 12th is a total loss, with strong winds from the north and a tiny 2ft to 4ft swell, choppy and blown out.

Now we hit the second week. Monday the 13th of July is the big one. A 13ft SW swell with a combined energy of 9561 – very strong. The wind is cross-offshore from the WNW, keeping it clean. This is a serious, powerful groundswell, and with a period of 14 seconds, it’s going to be heavy and fast, only for experienced surfers at a point that rarely breaks. Tuesday the 14th is still solid, with a 8ft SSW swell easing to 7ft in the afternoon, with a light offshore wind from the WSW, making for excellent conditions. Wednesday the 15th is a nice follow-up, with a 5ft to 5ft SSW swell, clean and light winds, perfect for intermediate surfers. The combined energy is moderate at 794 to 1007. Thursday the 16th is a bit of a letdown with a 5ft SSW swell but onshore winds causing chop. The rest of the week from Friday the 17th to Sunday the 19th is small, weak, and mostly blown out, with tiny 2ft to 4ft swells and poor wind.

So, to sum it up: the best on offer is Tuesday the 7th of July morning for a clean, glassy, small wave session, and the big standout is Monday the 13th of July for the expert-level, XXL groundswell. Keep in mind, this spot rarely breaks and crowds are possible, so pick your moment.

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.

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.
