The Lowdown

Hey, Rusty here, talking about Point Roadnight for the next couple of weeks. This point break is a rare one – it doesn’t break often, so when it does, you better be ready. The water’s about 57°, which is pretty normal for the time of year, so no big changes there.

We’re starting with a quiet period. Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th are both duds, with messy wind and tiny swell. Not worth getting wet. Thursday the 27th stays small – 3ft to 2ft from the SSW, just ordinary stuff.

Friday the 28th is where it starts to get interesting. The combined energy hits 761 in the morning, building to 816 by the afternoon, with a 4ft SW groundswell at 17 seconds. Winds are light and cross-off, keeping it clean. This is a good wave for the experienced surfer, but with that long period (over 15 seconds), it might break a bit straight on the point, so watch your line.

Saturday the 29th starts with a 4ft SW groundswell at 14 seconds and clean conditions – fun, but the afternoon fades. Then Sunday the 30th is the real standout. We’ve got a 6ft SSW groundswell at 17 seconds in the morning, with offshore winds from the SW, making it glassy. The combined energy is a massive 3997 – that’s powerful, strong stuff. It’s excellent, but only for experts, as it’s over 5ft. The afternoon sees it peak at 7ft, still clean. This is the best of the whole run.

Monday the 31st is still solid, with a 6ft SSW groundswell at 16 seconds, but the wind is a bit cross-shore, so expect some bumps. The afternoon cleans up with a 5ft wave and good energy. Tuesday the 1st of September and Wednesday the 2nd are more marginal, with moderate winds and smaller swell. The energy sits around 400-700, so it’s not special.

Thursday the 3rd through Saturday the 5th is a mixed bag. Thursday has a 5ft SW groundswell but with 22 mph winds, so it’s choppy. Friday the 4th is cross-onshore and small. Saturday the 5th, though, has a 5ft SW groundswell with light cross-off winds and a combined energy of 1034 – that’s a good-looking wave for the morning. The afternoon gets bigger at 7ft but with cross-shore winds, so it’s a bit lumpy.

Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th have some solid swell, around 7ft and 5ft, but the wind is cross-onshore or cross-shore, so it’s not as clean. By Tuesday the 8th, we’ve got a 5ft SW groundswell with gentle cross-off winds and a combined energy of 1361 – that’s another excellent call for experienced surfers, with clean conditions. Wednesday the 9th is a washout with strong breeze winds over 25 mph, even though there’s a 6ft SW groundswell – it’s more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle one.

Bottom line, the best days are Sunday the 30th and Tuesday the 8th, with the 30th being the absolute standout. This break is rare, so when it’s on, it’s a treat. The energy’s moderate to strong throughout, but the wind and tide need to cooperate. Keep an eye on it.

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.
