The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next couple of days are a write-off. Saturday the 5th is a total no-go; that 5ft SW swell is getting smashed by a 30 km/h cross-off wind, and the energy is all over the place at 1214 (moderate). The water’s sitting at 57°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
But don’t give up hope. The real action kicks off Sunday afternoon the 6th. That’s when we get a proper pulse. Point Roadnight is a rare breaking point that only lights up occasionally, so when it does, you pay attention. Sunday arvo we’re looking at a solid 8ft swell from the SW with a 14-second period, and the wind is a clean offshore from the WSW at only 5 km/h. The combined energy is pumping at 3154 (strong), and the comment says “excellent surf for experienced surfers.” This is over 8ft, so it’s for the skilled crew only. The swell direction is SSE optimum, and we’re getting SW – close enough to make it work. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so be ready for a few heads.
Moving into Monday the 7th, it drops right off. The morning has a tiny 2ft SW swell with a 13-second period and 20 km/h offshore wind, but energy is weak at 246. Don’t bother. Tuesday the 8th morning is a sleeper though – 3ft SW swell, but the period is a massive 18 seconds, and the wind is glassy offshore at 5 km/h. The energy is 1070 (moderate), and it’s “very good surf conditions.” That long period means the waves will have shape, but at a point break like this, it’ll line up nicely. Wednesday the 9th sees a jump in size – 6ft SW swell in the morning with 30 km/h cross-off wind, so it’s messy. The afternoon jumps to 10ft SSW swell, 19-second period, and 7165 energy (very strong), but again cross-off winds at 25 km/h hold it back.
The standout of the whole run? Thursday the 10th morning. We’ve got a 10ft SSW swell, 18-second period, and a clean 15 km/h cross-off from the SW. The energy is 5973 (very strong), and the comment says “excellent surf for experienced surfers.” This is big, powerful, and long-period – perfect for this point, but you need to be on your game. It’s for experts only.
Friday the 11th morning is still solid with 6ft SSW swell, 15-second period, and a light 5 km/h cross-off – clean and punchy. After that, things get messy. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th have onshore winds, and the energy drops. Monday the 14th is pitiful – 2ft SW swell and onshore winds. The 15th Tuesday morning has a short 6ft SW swell at 9 seconds and 20 km/h offshore, but it’s not great. The 16th Wednesday sees another big pulse – 10ft SW swell in the morning, 16-second period, 5823 energy, but 30 km/h cross-off winds make it raw. The 17th Thursday has 7ft SW swell with side-shore winds, so it’s okay but not special.
The 19th Saturday afternoon is a late surprise – 10ft SW swell, 14-second period, 3880 energy, and a light cross-off from the W. That’s clean and powerful. The 20th Sunday afternoon is glassy with 4ft SW swell, 14-second period, and 500 energy – a nice little mellow session to finish.
So, if you’re keen, Sunday the 6th arvo and Thursday the 10th morning are your best bets. The 10th is the absolute standout – big, clean, and powerful. Stay safe out there.

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.
