The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’re looking at a solid run of swell, but it’s a bit of a slow burner at Point Roadnight. This spot is a point break that rarely breaks, so when it does, you’ve got to pay attention. The water temp is sitting around 57°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, nothing wild there.
The action starts Sunday afternoon, 26 July. It’s glassy, with a 4ft SW swell, period a solid 11 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (274). It’s small but clean, perfect for getting a few long ones in. The wind is a light W at 3 mph, making it glassy. This is the pick of the first few days.
Monday morning, 27 July, drops a bit to 3ft SW, but with a NW cross-offshore breeze at 9 mph, it stays clean. The energy is similar (269). It’s marginal, but you could still find a cheeky wave if you’re keen.
Things get interesting on Tuesday afternoon, 28 July. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the SW, with a period of 15 seconds – that’s a groundswell, proper energy. The combined energy jumps to a strong 838. The wind is NW at 19 mph, cross-offshore, keeping it clean. This is a standout for the week, but it’s a bit messy with the rain. Wednesday morning, 29 July, sees the swell hit 5ft, but the wind is howling SW at 22 mph, cross-offshore. It’s big, but not great.
Now, the real highlight is Wednesday afternoon, 29 July. We’ve got a 10ft SW swell, period 15 seconds, and the energy is massive (5723). The wind is WSW at 19 mph, offshore. This is big, powerful, and only for experienced surfers. It’s going to be a beast, but the point setup should handle it well. That’s the best on offer in the whole run.
Thursday 30 July and Friday 31 July settle down with 4ft to 4ft SSW swells, clean offshore winds, and moderate energy. Good, solid, everyday surf.
The first week of August, from the 1st to the 10th, is a mixed bag. There’s plenty of swell, but the wind is mostly cross or onshore, making it choppy and poor. The standout in this second week is Wednesday morning, 5 August. It’s a 6ft SSW swell, with a very long 16-second period, and the energy is strong (1826). The wind is SW at 9 mph, offshore, keeping it clean. This is excellent for experienced surfers, but the long period might make it a bit straight at this point break. Still, it’s the best of the second week.
The last few days, from 6 August onwards, are mostly small and messy. The swell drops to 2ft with onshore winds, so it’s a definite flop.
Overall, if you’re an experienced surfer, Wednesday afternoon, 29 July is the one to circle. For everyone else, the first weekend is your best bet for clean, small waves.

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.
