Point Roadnight Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, lookin' at what's on the cards for the next stretch.

Alright, we've got one spot to work with for this whole forecast – Point Roadnight. It's a point break that rarely breaks, so when it does, you better be ready. The water's sittin' at a pretty average 57°F for the time of year, nothin' wild there.

We're in a bit of a quiet spell right now. The first couple of days, Friday the 21st and into Thursday, there's barely a ripple worth mentioning on offer – just some small, weak lines. Don't bother paddling out until Saturday the 22nd. That's where it gets real interesting. We're talkin' a solid 13ft swell out of the southwest, with a clean offshore wind from the WSW. The wave energy is massive (8452), but this is for experts only. That size is serious, and with a 14-second period, it's got plenty of punch. If you're not dialed in, stay on the sand and watch the show. That Saturday is the standout, no question.

Sunday the 23rd drops back to a much more manageable 5ft, also from the southwest, and the winds stay light and cross-offshore. It's clean, and while the energy is moderate (1193), it's a far more user-friendly wave. The period sits at 14 seconds, so it's a proper groundswell, good for the point setup here.

Then things get a bit messy. Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th offer some small, cleanish waves, but we're in the 3ft to 4ft range. The energy drops off, and Tuesday's pulse comes with rain showers. It's surfable, but nothing to write home about.

Now, Wednesday the 26th is another big one. Swell jumps back up to 10ft from the southwest, with strong offshore winds. The combined energy is pushing 3134, so that's a lot of water moving. Again, all experts. It's clean and powerful, but you need your wits about you.

After that, we hit a real flat spell. Thursday the 27th through Sunday the 30th of August is mostly a write-off with tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. A stretch of five or six days with nothing doing.

As we move into the first week of September, things start to look up again, but it's a slow build. Monday the 31st of August and Tuesday the 1st of September see a return of 4ft to 5ft swell from the southwest. The winds are light and offshore, and the energy is back in the moderate range (924 to 1226). That Tuesday afternoon looks particularly clean with light offshore wind. It's a far cry from the big stuff earlier, but it's a nice, clean point wave for experienced surfers to enjoy.

The end of the forecast window, around Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th of September, offers up some decent size again. Swell sits around 6ft to 7ft with a nice long period, but the wind is looking a bit punchy, especially Saturday mornin', with a fresh breeze. It's promising, but it's a long way out, so keep an eye on it. The real standout is that Saturday the 22nd of August. Get on it if you can handle the size.

Rusty.
