The Lowdown
Alright, pull up a sand dune and listen up—here’s the lowdown for the next few weeks.
The only game in town is Point Roadnight. It’s a point break that doesn’t break often, so when it does, it’s a special thing. Right now, there’s a quiet spell for a few days. The first surfable day is Wednesday, July 22, but it’s small, with a 2ft swell from the SW, and a cross-off wind. Water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing crazy.
The real deal starts Thursday, July 23, with a solid 12ft swell from the SW, a 14-second period, and a massive 6575 combined energy reading—that’s strong, powerful groundswell. The wind is cross-off, so it’s clean but big. This is for experts only; anything over 8ft is for the brave. Friday, July 24, is the standout: 13ft from the SW, a 15-second period, and a huge 10535 energy reading. Clean cross-off winds, but it’s a beast—only for the skilled. Saturday, July 25, holds at 12ft from the SW, with offshore winds and excellent conditions for experienced surfers.
The swell backs off Sunday, July 26, to 4ft from the SSW, with glassy conditions in the afternoon—light winds and calm. That’s a sweet spot for average surfers. Then it gets small from Monday, July 27, through the end of the month, with waist-high waves and glassy mornings on July 28 and 29. The period is still long (14 seconds), so it’s clean but not much punch.
From July 31 into early August, the swell comes back but with onshore winds, turning it messy. August 1 and 2 are poor, with small, wind-blown waves. The combined energy drops to weak levels, under 500. The 16-day window fades out with clean but tiny surf from August 4 to 6, with periods of 14-15 seconds but heights under 3ft.
So, your top pick is Friday, July 24, for the big, clean groundswell—but only if you’re an expert. For everyone else, Sunday, July 26, gives you the best mix of clean, glassy conditions and manageable 4ft to 3ft waves. Crowds are possible at Point Roadnight, but since it’s rarely breaking, you might be the only one 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. 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.
