The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Looking at the next couple of weeks, Point Roadnight is your only option and it’s a bit of a mixed bag. It’s a point break that rarely breaks, so this whole run is something special to keep an eye on. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is about what you’d expect for this time of year.
First real sign of life kicks off on Wednesday the 29th of July morning. A solid 6ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period is running, and we’ve got strong offshore wind from the SW at 25 mph. The wave energy is strong (2279), but the conditions are a bit raw – it’s clean, but that offshore is so strong it’ll be hard to paddle into. Things get much better Wednesday afternoon. The swell jumps to a meaty 13ft from the SW, 14-second period, and the fresh offshore breeze from the SW at 19 mph will have it clean and lined up. Wave energy is very powerful (9125). This is the standout – a point break with this much juice and clean offshore wind is a proper session for experienced surfers only. It will be too big for beginners.
Thursday the 30th is still worth a paddle. Morning has a 6ft SSW swell, 13-second period, with a light cross-offshore from the WNW at 9 mph keeping the face tidy (wave energy 952). Thursday afternoon pushes 8ft from the SW at 13 seconds, and a moderate offshore from the WSW at 12 mph will have it clean. Energy is strong (2384). Good for experienced surfers. Friday the 31st calms down a bit with 3ft SSW swell, 12-second period, and light cross-offshore winds – clean but much smaller.
The first week of August looks less exciting. You’ve got small to moderate swells but a lot of onshore or cross-shore wind, and the wave energy dips. Monday the 3rd of August afternoon throws up a 10ft WSW swell with a 14-second period and clean cross-offshore wind from the WNW at 16 mph – strong energy (4470) and clean, but it’s a few days out so keep an eye on it.
After that, the pattern gets pretty ordinary with small surf and mostly poor wind conditions right through to the second week. There’s a late hopeful sign on Monday the 10th of August afternoon with a 3ft SW swell, 15-second period, and moderate offshore wind from the SW at 12 mph. That’s clean and surfable. Tuesday the 11th of August has a similar vibe with a moderate offshore and clean 4ft SW swell.
Overall, not a lot of consistent action, but when it comes together it’ll be worth it. Stay safe out there.
Rusty.
