The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve had a good look at what’s on the table for Point Roadnight over the next 16 days. Buckle up, because for a spot that "rarely breaks," we’ve actually got a pretty solid pulse of energy rolling through, especially early on.

We start off this Tuesday morning, the 15th of September, with a solid groundswell pushing in. Swell is coming from the SW at 6ft with a nice 14-second period, and the wind is blowing fresh offshore from the WSW at 19 mph. That’s a clean, lined-up look at an exposed point. The water is sitting at 57°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a nice surprise. The combined energy is strong this morning, and it builds through the afternoon as the swell nudges up to 8ft. The wind stays offshore but picks up to 22 mph, so it’s a bit fresh, but the lines will be clean. This is a standout window – the best of the whole forecast. Catch it early if you can.

Wednesday the 16th keeps the good run going. Morning sees a 8ft SSW swell with a 15-second period, wind is a moderate cross-off from the S at 12 mph. The afternoon holds similar size and conditions, 2423 energy in the afternoon (strong wave energy). It’s clean, it’s consistent, and it’s Point Roadnight doing what it does best when it decides to turn on.

Thursday the 17th, the swell drops a bit to 5ft in the morning and 5ft in the afternoon, but the period stays solid at 14 seconds. Wind is a gentle cross-off. Energy dips a little, but expect very good surf conditions, as the data says. Still one of the better days in the run.

Friday the 18th is interesting – the swell hangs around 5–5ft, but the period jumps to a very long 17 seconds in the morning and 16 seconds in the afternoon. That kind of period means the waves will have a lot of punch and shape, but at a point break like this, it’s a real treat. Morning energy is 2228 (strong). Wind is from the NW at 12 mph, cross-off. Clean and raw.

Saturday the 19th sees the swell drop to 4ft, and by Sunday the 20th it’s down to 2ft. Energy drops to 210. It’s a quiet weekend. Not worth paddling out, mate.

Monday the 21st brings a spike back up – 8ft in the morning from the SW with an 11-second period. That’s a bit of a stormy, shorter-period swell, and it’s right at the top of what’s fun. Morning energy is 2305 (strong), wind is cross-off from the SSW. That’s a big, powerful day, and the afternoon drops off quickly to 4ft. The window is narrow.

Tuesday the 22nd has size again – 8ft in the morning, 7ft in the afternoon, both from the SSW with a 16-second period, but the wind switches to a cross-onshore from the E and ESE. That’s going to chop up the surface. Energy is massive – 3301 in the morning (very strong wave energy) – but the quality will be messy. More of a kiteboarding kind of day, honestly.

From Wednesday the 23rd through to the 30th of September, it’s a slow decline. Swells drop under 5ft, periods are still decent, but the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore. There’s a little pulse on the 26th (Saturday) with 6ft and a 19-second period from the SW, but the wind is fresh and cross-off. That’s a long-range standout to keep an eye on, but it’s a couple weeks out, so don’t lock in your plans just yet.

Overall, the pick of the bunch is Tuesday the 15th through to Friday the 18th. Clean, solid groundswell, consistent wind, and Point Roadnight doing its rare thing. Don’t sleep 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.
