The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming our way for Point Roadnight over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a bit of a slow start and a real mixed bag, but there’s a gem or two buried in there if you’re patient.
Right off the bat, we’ve got nothing worth paddling out for. The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t show up until Friday the 22nd of August, so we’re looking at a few days of flatness or junk beforehand. The waiting game is on.
The energy kicks up proper on Saturday the 22nd of August. That afternoon, we’re looking at a solid 5ft swell from the SW, with a long 16-second period giving it some real grunt. The combined energy is strong at 1194. What’s got me excited is the wind turning offshore from the WSW at 16 mph. That’s going to clean it right up. This is the standout of the whole period. For the experienced crew, this is your window. It’s a point break, so that long-period swell should wrap in nicely, and with it being rare to break here, you know it’s a special session when it lines up. Keep in mind, though, it’s a spot that rarely breaks, so don’t sleep on it. Crowds could pop up, especially since it’s inconsistent.
Sunday the 23rd of August morning still has some decent energy, with a 5ft SW swell and clean conditions under light cross-offshore winds. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing crazy.
We get another little spike right at the very end on Sunday the 30th of August. The morning shows a 6ft swell from the S, but the period is a short 8 seconds. The wind is offshore from the WSW at 9 mph, so it’ll be clean, but that short period means it’ll be a bit weaker and mushier. The combined energy (764) is still decent, but it might not have the punch of the earlier swell. The size pushes 6ft, so it’s getting into expert-only territory.
After that, it looks like we fade back into smaller, choppier conditions heading into September. No real standouts there.
So, to wrap it up: the main event is Saturday the 22nd of August afternoon. That’s your best bet for a proper, clean, powerful session. The rest is for the dedicated or the patient.
Rusty.
