Point Roadnight Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, gather 'round. Rusty here, and I've been staring at the charts for Point Roadnight. It's a bit of a mixed bag, but there's some serious potential if you time it right and you've got the skills.

First up, we've got a proper pulse of energy hitting. On Saturday, July 4th, we're looking at a solid 12ft swell from the SW, with a period of 13 seconds. The combined swell energy is a hefty 4934, which is strong. This is not for the faint-hearted—over 8ft, this is experts-only territory. The morning shows some clouds and a moderate offshore breeze from the WSW, which will keep things clean. This is the standout of the whole run, but only if you're experienced. By the afternoon, the wind swings cross-offshore and the swell drops to 8ft, still solid but the conditions become more marginal.

Sunday, July 5th, is a write-off. The wind is cross-onshore and the quality is poor. We skip to Monday, July 6th, where the swell drops right down to 4ft. The energy is weak (793) and the wind is messy. Not worth paddling out.

Now, here's where it gets interesting again, but it's a tease. Tuesday, July 7th, the morning is glassy with a 4ft, 17-second groundswell from the SW. Energy is moderate (1247). That long period will mean clean lines at this point, but the sets will be few and far between. Wednesday, July 8th, offers a similar story: morning glass, 4ft, and a very long 18-second period. Excellent conditions for the experienced, but it's on the small side.

There's a big gap of small, poor surf from the 9th to the 12th of July. Energy drops into the hundreds, and the swell is tiny.

Then, look ahead. On Monday, July 13th, we see another spike. It's a week and a half away, but the models show a 7ft SW swell hitting with a fresh cross-offshore breeze. The energy jumps back up (2092). The wind is clean, and the swell is big again—too much for beginners, but a good option for the crew who can handle it.

The real second standout in this whole period lands on Tuesday, July 14th. The afternoon session looks magic: a 7ft SSW swell with 16-second period, clean offshore wind from the SW. Combined energy is strong at 2158. This is another expert-only window due to size, but the conditions are described as excellent.

Wednesday, July 15th, and Thursday, July 16th, offer cleaner, smaller windows in the mornings. Thursday morning in particular has a 5ft SW swell with offshore winds and a solid 1466 energy, which is a good call for an intermediate session.

After that, the surf fades away into small, glassy, but ultimately weak 2ft waves for the final days of the forecast.

So, to sum it up: the absolute best on offer is the Saturday morning, July 4th, and the Tuesday afternoon, July 14th. Big, clean, and powerful. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or a marginal call. The water temp is sitting at 58°F, which is about average for this time of year. Keep your wits about you, and don't get caught inside on those big days.

Rusty.
