The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got the lowdown on the coming surf at Point Roadnight. This is a point break that rarely breaks, so when it does, it’s a special event. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing too wild.
We’re kicking off with a proper pulse on Saturday, August 22nd. The morning brings a solid 8ft SW swell with a 13-second period – that’s a groundswell with some real grunt. The combined energy is strong at 4119, and with a moderate offshore breeze from the WSW, it’s going to be clean and lined up. This is proper expert territory at 8ft, so only the experienced crew should be looking. The afternoon gets even bigger, pumping to 13ft SW with a 14-second period and energy jumping to 8738. The wind swings to a SW offshore at 12 mph, keeping it glassy. This is the standout session of the whole window – big, clean, and powerful for those who can handle it.
Sunday, August 23rd drops off a touch but still delivers. The morning has a 5ft SW swell, 14-second period, with a light NW cross-off breeze. The energy is moderate at 1218, and it’s clean. The afternoon holds at 5ft with a 16-second period – that long period means it’ll be a bit more drawn out, better for the point. Light W cross-off wind keeps it tidy. Good for experienced surfers, but not the standout.
Monday, August 24th is a mixed bag. The morning is a write-off with a weak 4ft SW swell (600 energy) and a cross-shore NNW wind making it choppy. The afternoon is better, a 3ft SSW swell (360 energy) with a light NW cross-off, clean and small. More of a cruisy session.
From Tuesday, August 25th through Thursday, August 27th, the surf goes quiet. Small swells, poor winds, and low energy – think 2ft to 4ft with onshore or cross-shore breezes. The afternoon of Thursday the 27th is the only bright spot: 3ft SW swell (356 energy) with a glassy, no-wind condition. Clean but tiny.
Friday, August 28th and Saturday, August 29th stay small. The best is Friday morning with a 4ft SW swell (1062 energy) and a WNW cross-off, but it’s marginal. The rest is weak – 2ft to 4ft with cross-shore winds.
Now, Sunday, August 30th brings the next real highlight. The morning has a 5ft SSW swell with a long 19-second period – that’s a very long period groundswell, so it’ll be pushing serious energy (2203). Clean cross-off wind from the S. The afternoon jumps to 8ft SSW with 18 seconds (4033 energy) and same clean cross-off wind. This is expert-level again, but the quality is undeniable. Another standout.
Monday, August 31st is a gem. The morning is glassy with a 0 mph SSW wind and a 6ft SSW swell (1356 energy), 16-second period. Perfectly clean. The afternoon stays clean with a 5ft SW swell (980 energy) and light S cross-off. A solid session for the experienced.
Tuesday, September 1st starts strong with a 6ft SW swell (1795 energy) and a 15-second period, with a gentle offshore W wind. Clean and powerful. The afternoon gets messy with a 16 mph SSW cross-off, so the morning is the pick.
From Wednesday, September 2nd to Thursday, September 3rd, it’s mostly small and choppy with onshore winds – 3ft to 4ft. The afternoon of Thursday the 3rd is okay with a 4ft SW swell (485 energy) and a light NW cross-off.
Friday, September 4th is a nice close to the period. The morning has a 7ft SSW swell (1648 energy) with a 15-second period and a clean cross-off W wind. The afternoon holds at 6ft SSW (1547 energy) with a clean cross-off SSW wind. Another expert-level session.
Saturday, September 5th and Sunday, September 6th fade out. The morning of the 5th is marginal with a 4ft SW swell (494 energy) and cross-shore wind. The afternoon of the 5th is glassy but tiny at 3ft. Sunday the 6th is a weak 4ft SW swell (1225 energy) with cross-shore wind.
The absolute best of the bunch? Saturday, August 22nd – the afternoon is a monster 13ft SW with light offshore wind and massive energy. Sunday, August 30th afternoon is a close second with that 8ft long-period groundswell. Both are for experts only, but the quality is off the charts. Remember, this spot rarely breaks, so if you’re experienced and the timing lines up, you’re in for a treat.

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.

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.
