The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and miles. Rusty here, and I’ve been looking at the Point Roadnight forecast. This spot is a bit of a sleeper, but when it wakes up, it’s a real gem. The start is quiet, but the second half is looking like a proper winter swell.
We’re starting with a slow patch. Monday the 20th is flat, with a 2ft SW swell and some cross-shore wind. Water temp is 58°F, right on average for the season. Nothing to write home about. Tuesday the 21st is still small and messy. The first few days are just the ocean getting its act together.
The first real pulse comes on Wednesday the 22nd in the afternoon. That’s a clean 5ft SW swell with a 10-second period and offshore wind. The energy is 670 (moderate). For a break that rarely breaks, this is a nice little window for the intermediate crew.
Now, if you’re an expert, look at Thursday the 23rd. The morning shows a massive 12ft SW swell (14-second period) with offshore wind. The energy is 7079 (very strong). This is big, powerful, and clean. Point Roadnight is a point break, so it’ll handle that long-period groundswell perfectly. Just know, this is for experts only.
The swell stays big through the weekend, with 12ft on Saturday the 25th, but the wind goes cross-offshore, making it a bit harder to manage. The energy is still strong (6152 on Saturday morning), but it’s a step down in quality. Sunday the 26th drops to a much friendlier 4ft, and the wind is light, making for a cleaner session.
The real standout is Wednesday the 29th of July. The morning delivers a 12ft SW swell with a ridiculously long 17-second period and a combined energy of 12762 (very strong). The wind is cross-off, so it’ll be a wall of clean, powerful water. This is the kind of day you wait for. It’s a bit far out, so treat it as a promising target.
The last few days into August are solid too. Thursday the 30th has an 8ft SSW swell, and Friday the 31st has 6ft with glassy conditions on the morning of Monday the 3rd of August. The energy drops, but the quality stays high for the experienced surfer.
Best bets: the big groundswell on Wednesday the 23rd for the experts, and the massive cleanup on Wednesday the 29th for the brave. Sneak in on Wednesday the 22nd afternoon for something smaller. Crowds are only *sometimes* a problem, so you might get a few to yourself.
