Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about Point Roadnight.
Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing special.
The next week and a half is a slow start, but there’s one standout session you don’t want to miss. The swell direction is solidly from the SW, which is exactly what this point wants.
The big one is Tuesday, July 14th, in the afternoon. Swell is a solid 13ft from the SW, with a long 15-second period. That’s a serious groundswell, and the wave energy is massive (9718). The wind is offshore from the W at 15 mph, giving you clean, moderate offshore conditions. This is expert-only territory, because that size is going to be too big for beginners. Expect long, powerful lines wrapping the point, with big sets and long lulls in between. This is your best bet.
Before that, Monday the 13th has some 8ft to 8ft SW swell, but the cross-off wind keeps it from being perfect. The energy is still there (2620 and 3021), but it’s a bit messy.
After the big Tuesday, the swell drops but stays clean. Wednesday the 15th still has a nice 6ft to 5ft SW swell with light winds, and moderate energy (1358). Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th see the swell drop to around 5ft to 5ft, but the wind goes glassy or very light. Friday afternoon is especially glassy, with 5ft SW swell and a 16-second period (964 energy). That’s a clean, long-period swell that will reel down the point nicely.
Then we hit a quiet patch from Saturday the 18th through to about Tuesday the 21st of July. Swell drops to under 3ft, and the wind is mostly light or cross, but the energy is low (136 to 281). It’s pretty flat.
Things pick up again around Tuesday the 21st afternoon, with a small 4ft SW swell and clean conditions. The energy is still low (461), but it’s surfable. The rest of that week into the 25th and 26th sees a mix of small SW swells, mostly in the 3ft to 4ft range, with moderate energy. The 25th afternoon looks okay with a clean 4ft SW swell (875 energy). By the 27th, the wind goes offshore again with a 6ft SSW swell, but the period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s a bit weak and jumbled.
Bottom line: wait for Tuesday the 14th of July afternoon. That’s the one. Everything else is small or just okay.

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. If you surf the same spot (Point Roadnight) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
Point Roadnight is 36 km (22 miles) from the city of Geelong. If you plan a holiday in Torquay, look for hotels and other accommodation in Geelong. Geelong has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
