Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about Point Roadnight.
Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing special.
The next week and a half is a slow start, but there’s one standout session you don’t want to miss. The swell direction is solidly from the SW, which is exactly what this point wants.
The big one is Tuesday, July 14th, in the afternoon. Swell is a solid 13ft from the SW, with a long 15-second period. That’s a serious groundswell, and the wave energy is massive (9718). The wind is offshore from the W at 15 mph, giving you clean, moderate offshore conditions. This is expert-only territory, because that size is going to be too big for beginners. Expect long, powerful lines wrapping the point, with big sets and long lulls in between. This is your best bet.
Before that, Monday the 13th has some 8ft to 8ft SW swell, but the cross-off wind keeps it from being perfect. The energy is still there (2620 and 3021), but it’s a bit messy.
After the big Tuesday, the swell drops but stays clean. Wednesday the 15th still has a nice 6ft to 5ft SW swell with light winds, and moderate energy (1358). Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th see the swell drop to around 5ft to 5ft, but the wind goes glassy or very light. Friday afternoon is especially glassy, with 5ft SW swell and a 16-second period (964 energy). That’s a clean, long-period swell that will reel down the point nicely.
Then we hit a quiet patch from Saturday the 18th through to about Tuesday the 21st of July. Swell drops to under 3ft, and the wind is mostly light or cross, but the energy is low (136 to 281). It’s pretty flat.
Things pick up again around Tuesday the 21st afternoon, with a small 4ft SW swell and clean conditions. The energy is still low (461), but it’s surfable. The rest of that week into the 25th and 26th sees a mix of small SW swells, mostly in the 3ft to 4ft range, with moderate energy. The 25th afternoon looks okay with a clean 4ft SW swell (875 energy). By the 27th, the wind goes offshore again with a 6ft SSW swell, but the period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s a bit weak and jumbled.
Bottom line: wait for Tuesday the 14th of July afternoon. That’s the one. Everything else is small or just okay.
