The Lowdown

Righto, grab a coffee and settle in, let’s have a look at what’s heading our way for Point Roadnight over the next couple of weeks.

First up, there’s a bit of a quiet start. Friday and Saturday are pretty much a write-off—wind is howling from the northwest and the swell is messy with short intervals. Not worth paddling out for. You’ll be fighting the breeze more than riding waves.

But then, Sunday morning the 6th is where it gets interesting. The wind swings around to a light offshore from the WSW, and a solid 10ft SW groundswell rolls in with a period of 14 seconds. The combined energy is pumping at 4032—that’s proper moderate-to-strong energy. This is big, powerful stuff for experienced surfers only. It’s a point break, so it’ll handle that long-period swell beautifully, offering clean, lined-up waves. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. If you’ve got the skill, this is the standout session of the whole outlook.

Monday the 7th drops right off—swell backs down to below 3ft, and the magic is gone. Tuesday the 8th morning, though, is a gem for the patient surfer. Glassy conditions with a WNW breeze at just 3 mph, and a 5ft SSW groundswell with a very long 18-second period. The energy is strong, around 2247. That long period means the waves will have real shape and power, with long gaps between sets—perfect for a point break. It’ll be clean and inviting, but not for beginners given the size. There’s a chance of crowds, as this spot can get busy.

The middle of the week—Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th—sees the swell jump back up to 10ft, but the wind turns cross-shore or stronger, making conditions marginal. The energy is huge, especially on Wednesday afternoon hitting 12949, but the chop and wind will spoil it. Better for the experienced only, and even then, it’s a gamble.

Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th offer smaller, cleaner surf around 4ft to 5ft, but the wind is cross or cross-on, so it’s okay but not special. The following week from Sunday the 13th through Monday the 14th is a dead zone—tiny swell and onshore wind. Nothing doing.

Then, on Tuesday the 15th, a new pulse arrives: 10ft SW swell but with a short 11-second period and fresh offshore wind from the west. That’s clean and powerful, but the short period means it’ll be a bit lumpy and less organised. Only for the keen.

The real monster shows up on Thursday the 17th—18ft SW swell with energy readings over 34,000, which is absolutely massive. But the file says it’s too big for this break. Even for experts, this is a no-go. The point will be closing out and dangerous.

Friday the 18th morning sees the swell drop back to 10ft from the SSW, with a gentle breeze and clean conditions. The energy is still strong at 5090. This is a solid option for experienced surfers, but the swell is still big.

After that, it fades out again with small, clean but unremarkable waves through Saturday the 19th.

So, the standout is Sunday morning the 6th—big, clean, offshore, and full of energy. Second pick is Tuesday morning the 8th for the glassy, long-period session. The rest is a mix of too big, too windy, or too small.

Rusty.
