The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Looks like we’ve got a bit of a waiting game on our hands before things get serious. The first solid recommendation doesn’t show up until Saturday the 25th of July, so the early part of the week is a write-off for good surf. There’s a big gap from now until then, with nothing worth paddling out for.

Alright, let’s talk about the standout. Point Roadnight is our only break on the radar, and it’s a rare one – it rarely breaks, so when it does, you pay attention. The big moment kicks off Saturday morning, July 25th. We’re looking at a solid 12 ft swell from the SSW, with a period of 13 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy, and at this size, it’s only for experienced surfers. The wind is offshore from the WSW at 12 mph, which is going to put a clean face on those waves. The combined energy is pumping at 4797, which is strong. This is the pick of the forecast, no doubt. Saturday afternoon stays clean with a 10 ft SW swell and offshore winds, still solid for the crew who know what they’re doing.

Sunday the 26th drops right back to a smaller 4 ft to 4 ft SSW swell, with cross-offshore winds. It’s clean and manageable, but not the standout. The combined energy is weak at 274 to 430.

Then we hit a lull from Monday the 27th through Tuesday the 28th, with messy, poor conditions – cross winds and chop, just forget it.

Wednesday the 29th sees a pulse back up to 8 ft from the SSW, with a very long 16-second period. That’s a groundswell, perfect for a point break like this. The wind is cross-offshore, keeping it clean. Combined energy is strong at 3363. But the surf quality is a bit marginal, so it’s a solid option for the experienced surfer, but not the absolute best.

Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st are smaller, with 4 ft to 5 ft SSW swells, clean but nothing special.

Now, looking into the first week of August, Saturday the 1st brings a nice 4 ft SSW swell with a very long 16-second period, clean cross-off winds, and combined energy of 1307. It’s a promising session, but keep in mind it’s further out, so less certain.

Sunday the 2nd of August is another interesting one: 5 ft SW swell, 17-second period – that’s very long – and light cross-off winds. The combined energy is 1707, and it’s rated as excellent for experienced surfers. This could be a gem, but that long period might make it a bit straight at a beach break; here at the point, it should be beautiful.

After that, Monday the 3rd through Wednesday the 5th is mostly small and messy, with cross and cross-on winds. The swell drops to 2 ft to 5 ft, and it’s not worth a wetsuit.

Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th of August see a jump in swell size again, with 6 ft to 6 ft SW swell, but the wind is cross or cross-on, creating chop. The periods are huge – up to 23 seconds – but the wind is ruining the surface. This is more for the die-hard, or maybe a kite session.

Saturday the 8th of August wraps it up with a 6 ft to 5 ft SW swell, clean cross-off winds, but still marginal quality. The combined energy is moderate.

Water temp is sitting at 57°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year – no big anomaly there.

So, the real standout is Saturday, July 25th at Point Roadnight. Get on it if you can handle the size. The Sunday the 2nd of August is also a solid backup, but a week out, so keep an eye on it. This spot rarely fires, so when it does, you don’t want to miss it.

Catch ya in the water.
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.

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.
