Point Roadnight Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Right, let’s have a look at what’s going on down at Point Roadnight. This is a classic point break that rarely breaks, so when it does, you wanna pay attention. Water temp is sittin’ around 57°, pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year, no surprises there.

Now, the next couple of days ain’t worth getting wet for, so we’re lookin’ at a quiet start. The real show kicks off on Wednesday the 12th in the morning. The swell jumps to 10 ft from the WSW, with a very long period of 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, readin’ a whopping 5492 on the energy scale — we’re talkin’ serious power in the water. For the experienced crew, this is the standout of the whole outlook. The wind is cross-offshore from the W at 12 mph, keepin’ it clean. The size is a bit much for beginners, though; this one’s for the lads who know what they’re doin’. The long period means the waves will wrap around the point nicely, but be ready for long waits between sets.

The pulse hangs around through Thursday and Friday. On Thursday the 13th afternoon, we get a sweet window with 9 mph offshore wind from the WSW and still 7 ft of SW swell at 16 seconds. That’s prime, clean conditions. Then Friday the 14th morning pulls it off again with a lighter 6 mph offshore from the W and 7 ft swell, energy at 2365. Again, this is expert territory for sure.

From Saturday the 15th onward, the swell starts to drop back through the 5 ft mark, and the wind goes more cross-off. Sunday the 16th morning, you’ll find clean little 4 ft leftovers with glassy NE wind at 3 mph, but it’s small. The week after that, from Monday the 17th, the energy fades fast down to 2 ft or 3 ft with mostly onshore or cross-onshore wind. There’s a few glassy moments on the 20th and 22nd, but honestly, it’s tiny stuff. By the 23rd, strong 16 mph cross-onshore winds mess things up, and then into the last days, we get strong 22 mph cross-off winds but with barely any swell. No go.

So listen, if you’re an experienced surfer, lock in that Wednesday 12th and Thursday 13th window — that’s the best of it. For everyone else, the small clean days on the 16th morning or the glassy 20th afternoon might give you a knee-high wobbler if you’re desperate. But really, the big stuff is the highlight.

Rusty.
