Point Roadnight Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, I’ll give it to you straight, no fluff. This is Point Roadnight, and it’s the only show in town for the next 16 days. Let’s get into it.

Alright, the water temp is sitting at 58°F, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there. The first few days are a bit of a tease. The swell is plenty big but the wind is messy. The first real standout isn’t until Tuesday the 14th, and it’s a big one. Tuesday afternoon, we’ve got a solid 13ft SW groundswell hitting the beach, with a very long 15-second period. That’s a lot of water moving, and the combined energy is massive at 10181 (moderate-strong). The wind is offshore from the WSW, so it’ll be clean. But look, 13ft is expert territory only – if you’re not solid, stay out of the water. The swell is coming from the SW, which is a good direction for this spot. Crowds are sometimes a factor here, so don’t expect to have it all to yourself.

Wednesday the 15th drops off a fair bit. Mornings see 6ft SW swell, clean but with a cross-off wind, and the energy is only 1237 (moderate). It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. Thursday the 16th is a bit better – 6ft SW swell, offshore wind in the morning, and a score that’s decent for experienced surfers. The energy is 1497 (moderate). It’s a clean, solid option for the more confident surfer.

Friday the 17th is interesting. The afternoon looks glassy, with a 5ft SW swell and a 17-second period. That’s very long period groundswell, which at a point break like this is a good thing – it’ll set up nicely. The energy is 1576 (moderate). It’s clean, but watch for those long lulls between sets.

Then things go quiet. From Saturday the 18th right through to the morning of Thursday the 24th, there’s a big gap of nearly a week where the surf is small, weak, or just plain poor. The swell drops to under 3ft, and the energy is tiny – under 300 (weak). Thursday the 24th morning is the next real highlight. We get a 5ft SSW groundswell with an 18-second period – very long again. The energy is 1473 (moderate). The wind is light cross-off, and by the afternoon it’s glassy. It’s an excellent call for experienced surfers, clean and punchy.

The last few days are a slow fade. The 27th and 28th have some size but the wind is cross or cross-off with moderate breeze, and the energy is moderate, but the conditions are a bit messy. Not a standout.

So, for the best of the lot: Tuesday 14th afternoon is the big one – big, powerful, and clean, but only for the experts. And then Thursday 24th is the smaller, cleaner option that’s still very good for experienced surfers. The rest is mostly filler.
