The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
We’ve got one spot lighting up the forecast for the next 16 days, and it’s a bit of a tricky one. The main event is a serious pulse of SW groundswell hitting Point Roadnight on Friday the 24th of July. This is a rare-breaking point break, so when it fires, it’s a special thing. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprise there.
The standout is Friday morning. We’re looking at a solid 13ft swell from the SW with a very long 15-second period, packing a massive amount of energy (11390). That’s big, powerful, and for experts only – over 8ft, it’s just for the crew with serious nerve. The wind is blowing offshore from the W at 12 mph, which will keep the face clean. It’s a point break, so that long period will wrap in nicely, but be aware the crowd factor is there sometimes. This is the one to circle on the calendar.
Friday afternoon sees the swell dropping to 8ft, still from the SSW, but the wind picks up to 19 mph and goes cross-offshore. It’s cleaner than a mess, but the energy is dropping and the tide could be a factor.
Saturday the 25th offers another good look in the morning. A 12ft SW swell with 12-second period, still pumping (4740 energy), and a clean offshore wind from the WSW at 12 mph. This is excellent for experienced surfers, but again, it’s a heavy wave for a point break.
Sunday the 26th morning sees the swell drop to 4ft with a 11-second period. The energy is weak (423). The wind is cross-offshore, so it’s clean but small. Not worth getting excited about.
Monday the 27th is small and clean, with 3ft to 4ft swells. Not a whole lot to write home about. The conditions are tidy, but the lack of size means it’s a background day.
Tuesday the 28th morning is a write-off with strong NW winds at 19 mph. The afternoon looks a bit better with a 6ft WSW swell but the wind is a fresh 22 mph offshore. That’s a lot of breeze, even if it’s offshore.
Wednesday the 29th brings a return of quality. Morning sees a 7ft SSW swell with a long 15-second period (1860 energy) and a gentle offshore wind from the WSW. That’s a nice, clean setup for experienced surfers. The afternoon holds similar quality with a 6ft SSW swell and light offshore winds.
From Thursday the 30th through to the end of the first week, the swell drops to 4ft-5ft range. Winds are light and mostly cross-offshore or offshore. Clean, but small. Not a priority.
Now, heading into the second week, the forecast gets a bit more promising but less certain. Saturday the 1st of August brings a 8ft SSW swell in the morning, but it’s cross-offshore. The afternoon is weird – a 3ft swell with a 21-second period (2189 energy). That’s a very long period for such a small wave, so it’ll be fat and walled-up at the point, not great.
Sunday the 2nd of August is the next real standout. A solid 8ft SSW swell with an 18-second period, packing strong energy (3398). The wind is light and cross-offshore in the morning, but shifts to a light cross-shore in the afternoon. That’s still clean enough, but the point will be handling that long period well.
The rest of the second week, from Monday the 3rd onwards, the swell is smaller and the wind turns mostly cross-onshore or onshore. The surf quality drops off significantly. By Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th, it’s pretty poor with moderate onshore breezes and choppy conditions. The run of good waves is over by then.
So, to sum it up: the absolute best is Friday the 24th morning. The second best is Sunday the 2nd of August morning. Everything else is a supporting act or a rest day. Given that Point Roadnight rarely breaks, this is a window to really pay attention to.
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.

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.
