The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, giving you the lowdown on Point Roadnight. This point break is a rare one, only lights up when everything’s just right, so we’ve got to be patient. The next 16 days are a real mix, with a few absolute crackers hidden in there, but also plenty of flat, windy rubbish to get through.
First off, the water temp is sitting around 57°, which is pretty average for this time of year. Nothing unusual there.
We start off with a bit of a letdown. Monday the 7th has some swell, but it’s short period, messy cross-off wind, and the conditions are just poor. Not worth paddling out. Tuesday the 8th is where things start to get interesting. The morning sees a 3ft SW swell, but with an 18-second period, and a light offshore breeze. That’s a groundswell with serious power, and the combined energy is a beastly 1070. That’s proper wave energy. This is a standout window. The afternoon stays clean with a 5ft SW swell, same long period, and glassy conditions. This is the best on offer for the early part of the forecast.
Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th see the swell pumping up to 8ft and even 10ft, but the wind is a strong cross-off, and the combined energy spikes to 6280. That’s a massive amount of energy. For a rare point like this, that much swell with a stiff cross-off wind is gonna be challenging and probably not the cleanest. It’s more for the experienced crew, and even then, it’s marginal.
Friday the 11th is a total redemption. Morning brings a 5ft SSW swell with a 14-second period, light cross-off wind, and a combined energy of 1057. The afternoon is even better: 6ft SSW swell, 15-second period, light breeze, and the energy is 1368. This is excellent surf. A real standout.
Saturday the 12th has a glassy afternoon with a 5ft SW swell, 15-second period, and no wind. That’s clean, but the energy is a bit lower at 838. Still a good session.
Then we hit a massive gap. From Sunday the 13th right through to the end of the week, the swell drops right off, the wind is messy, and the conditions are poor. You’re looking at about 5 days of nothing worth getting wet for.
But hold on. Tuesday the 15th is a monster. The afternoon sees a 10ft SW swell with a 13-second period, a gentle cross-off breeze, and the combined energy is a whopping 5487. That’s huge. This is a proper expert-only session, but if you’ve got the guts, it’s gonna be a wild ride. Wednesday the 16th morning is also a standout with an 8ft SSW swell, 16-second period, glassy conditions, and 3426 energy. That’s a long period groundswell with clean conditions.
The week after that has some more solid surf. Saturday the 19th afternoon is a beauty: 5ft SW swell, 19-second period, light cross-off, and 1695 energy. That’s a long-period groundswell with clean conditions, and it’s for the experienced crew. Then Tuesday the 22nd morning sees a 6ft SW swell, 19-second period, light cross-off, and 3224 energy. That’s another excellent session.
But remember, Point Roadnight rarely breaks. So when it does, and the conditions line up, you’ve gotta be there. The standout windows are Tuesday the 8th, Friday the 11th, and Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th. The 15th and 16th are for experts only though. The 19th and 22nd are also solid options in the second week, but less certain this far out.
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.
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.
