The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and miles. Rusty here, and I’ve been looking at the Point Roadnight forecast. This spot is a bit of a sleeper, but when it wakes up, it’s a real gem. The start is quiet, but the second half is looking like a proper winter swell.
We’re starting with a slow patch. Monday the 20th is flat, with a 2ft SW swell and some cross-shore wind. Water temp is 58°F, right on average for the season. Nothing to write home about. Tuesday the 21st is still small and messy. The first few days are just the ocean getting its act together.
The first real pulse comes on Wednesday the 22nd in the afternoon. That’s a clean 5ft SW swell with a 10-second period and offshore wind. The energy is 670 (moderate). For a break that rarely breaks, this is a nice little window for the intermediate crew.
Now, if you’re an expert, look at Thursday the 23rd. The morning shows a massive 12ft SW swell (14-second period) with offshore wind. The energy is 7079 (very strong). This is big, powerful, and clean. Point Roadnight is a point break, so it’ll handle that long-period groundswell perfectly. Just know, this is for experts only.
The swell stays big through the weekend, with 12ft on Saturday the 25th, but the wind goes cross-offshore, making it a bit harder to manage. The energy is still strong (6152 on Saturday morning), but it’s a step down in quality. Sunday the 26th drops to a much friendlier 4ft, and the wind is light, making for a cleaner session.
The real standout is Wednesday the 29th of July. The morning delivers a 12ft SW swell with a ridiculously long 17-second period and a combined energy of 12762 (very strong). The wind is cross-off, so it’ll be a wall of clean, powerful water. This is the kind of day you wait for. It’s a bit far out, so treat it as a promising target.
The last few days into August are solid too. Thursday the 30th has an 8ft SSW swell, and Friday the 31st has 6ft with glassy conditions on the morning of Monday the 3rd of August. The energy drops, but the quality stays high for the experienced surfer.
Best bets: the big groundswell on Wednesday the 23rd for the experts, and the massive cleanup on Wednesday the 29th for the brave. Sneak in on Wednesday the 22nd afternoon for something smaller. Crowds are only *sometimes* a problem, so you might get a few to yourself.

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.
