The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down what’s in store for Point Roadnight. This is a point break that’s picky about when it turns on, so when it does, it’s a treat for those who know it. Water temp is right where it should be for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
The first real swell arrives Sunday the 30th of August. Sunday morning serves up a clean 5ft swell from the SSW, period 13 seconds. Light cross-off wind keeps it tidy, and the combined energy is moderate at 795. Sunday afternoon, the swell builds to 8ft from the SW, still cross-off, and the energy jumps to 3171 – that’s a proper push. This is getting serious, and for experienced surfers, it’s game on.
Monday the 31st of August is the highlight. The morning is glassy, with the wind from the NW at just 3 mph. Swell is a clean 5ft from the SW, period 15 seconds. This is long-period groundswell, and on a point break, that means long, peeling lines. Combined energy is a moderate 1007, but the conditions are flawless. Monday afternoon keeps the glass, with the wind shifting to SSE at 3 mph. Swell holds at 5ft, period 15 seconds, energy 1190. That’s two sessions of perfection – the best of the whole run.
Tuesday the 1st of September, the wind swings onshore and hits 19 mph, so the quality tanks. The next few days are mostly blown out or messy until Thursday the 3rd of September afternoon. The wind turns offshore from the WSW at 12 mph, and the swell jumps to 13ft from the SW, period 14 seconds. Combined energy is a massive 6957 – that’s strong, powerful swell. This is for experts only. The offshore wind will hold it open, but 13ft on a point is a big commitment.
After that, the pattern continues with some bumpy days and big pulses. The real monster is Wednesday the 9th of September afternoon. The wind goes light offshore from the west at 6 mph, and the swell is 13ft from the SW again, period 14 seconds. The combined energy hits 10802 – that’s enormous. Clean, offshore, giant groundswell on a point. That is a day for the hardcore.
The following days settle into cleaner, smaller conditions, but nothing beats that 9th September session.
Bottom line: if you’ve got your calendar marked, Monday the 31st of August for the glassy, long-period perfection, and Wednesday the 9th of September afternoon for the huge, clean offshore bomb. The rest is a mix of messy onshore days and big, heavy swells only for the brave.
Keep your stick in the water,
Rusty.

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.
