The Lowdown

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s lining up here at Point Roadnight. This is a point break that rarely breaks, so when it does, you sit up and take notice. It’s fairly exposed to the swell, and it really wants it from the SSE. The water temp is sitting at 57° right now, which is about normal for this time of year, so no wetsuit drama there.

The real action kicks off on Thursday, 16 July. We’ve got a solid 6ft SSW groundswell rolling in, with a long 15-second period – that’s proper energy, and the combined energy reading is a hefty 1692 (moderate to strong). Thursday morning the wind is light offshore from the SW, so expect clean, peeling lines. The afternoon turns cross-off from the SSW with barely a breath, so it’ll stay clean. This is serious, experienced-surfer territory – the size and the low period make it a bit much for beginners. This is the standout of the entire run.

Friday, 17 July, still has good size at 5ft from the SW, period stretching to 16 seconds. The morning is a bit cross-shore, but Friday afternoon looks absolutely glassy with a WNW breeze. That’s a magic window for a point break – the wave will be holding shape, and the sets will be long and clean. The energy is still strong at 1368 (moderate to strong).

By Saturday, 18 July, the swell drops to 3ft and then 3ft by the afternoon. The energy falls away (382). Saturday afternoon is glassy, so you could still get a fun little wave, but it’s ordinary. Sunday through Tuesday (19 to 21 July) is small and weak – energy readings down in the low hundreds – not worth paddling out for.

Wednesday, 22 July, stays small, but we get a tiny pulse of 3ft on Tuesday afternoon with a 15-second period – that at least has some push for a point break, but it’s still slim.

Then we get a second pulse kicking in from Thursday, 23 July. The swell builds to 5ft by the afternoon, period 14 seconds, with a moderate cross-off breeze. The energy climbs to 976 (moderate). Friday, 24 July, sees 6ft SSW groundswell, and the afternoon turns offshore from the WSW – that’s a clean, lined-up wave for experienced surfers. Energy is 1095. This is a solid second-best option, but it’s still not as clean as that first Thursday.

Saturday, 25 July, drops to 5ft, but the afternoon is glassy with light rain – that’s a nice, clean session for the more competent crew. Sunday, 26 July, is smaller again.

Now, hold on, because the end of the month is where it gets wild. On Thursday, 30 July, early morning we see an 12ft SW swell, period 12 seconds, with a moderate offshore wind. The energy is a massive 4159 (strong). That’s huge, and it’s only for experts. The wind is offshore, so it’ll be clean, but the power is next level.

Then Friday, 31 July, is the biggest of the lot. Morning: 13ft SW groundswell, 16-second period, energy of 10859 (very strong). That’s a late-month bomb. The wind is gentle cross-off, so it’s rideable for those with the nerve. The afternoon is 10ft from the same direction, energy 6886 (strong). This is the other true standout of the whole 16-day window – but it’s for experts only. Keep in mind, with that long period at a point break, those sets will be clean and powerful, but the gaps between sets will be long, so the paddle out is easier.

Bottom line: Thursday 16 July is the pick of the first week, and Friday 31 July is the late-month monster. The rest is small or marginal. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.

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.
