The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Alright, so Point Roadnight is looking like a tale of two halves over the next 16 days. The first half is mostly a snooze, but there’s a couple of proper sessions later on that’ll get your blood pumping.
First up, Saturday the 15th is your best early bet. A solid 6ft SSW groundswell with a 15-second period, and the wave energy is pumping at 1369 (moderate to strong). The wind is a light 6 mph cross-off, keeping things clean. This is excellent for experienced surfers, so if you’ve got the chops, it’s worth it. Water temp is 56° which is about average for the time of year. It’s a point break, so it’ll handle that long-period swell well. Crowds are possible, so keep your head on a swivel.
Then things go flat. From Sunday the 16th through Friday the 21st, it’s pretty much a write-off—weak, crummy, wind-affected junk. That’s a full week of nothing to write home about.
The second half wakes up with a roar. Saturday the 22nd of August brings a heavy swell back. Morning sees a 7ft SW swell with a 12-second period, energy at 1840, and a fresh offshore wind from the WSW at 19 mph. Afternoon jumps to a beast of a 12ft SW groundswell, energy screaming at 8606—that’s very strong. The wind stays fresh offshore. This is for experts only; over 8ft it’s not for beginners.
Sunday the 23rd keeps the 7ft size going with clean offshore winds. But the real standout is Tuesday the 25th. Tuesday morning delivers a massive 10ft SW groundswell with a 15-second period, energy at 6571. Wind is a gentle 9 mph cross-off, so it’s clean and powerful. This is excellent for experienced surfers. The point break will handle that long period beautifully, giving long, lined-up waves.
Wednesday the 26th morning is still decent, with a 6ft SSW swell easing off and light winds.
From Thursday the 27th onward, it’s back to small, weak, and mostly onshore dribble. A few tiny bumps but nothing worth chasing.
So, for the experienced crew, Saturday the 15th is your first window, and Tuesday the 25th is the one to circle on the calendar for size and conditions. Everything else in that 16-day span is either flat or better left to the kite surfers.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Point Roadnight can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
