Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
G’day, Rusty here. Right, we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming our way at Point Roadnight over the next couple of weeks. It’s a point break that rarely breaks, so when it does fire, you need to be on it. Let’s break it down.
The opening window, starting Friday the 3rd, sees a big, long-period groundswell rolling in from the SW with a period of 16 seconds – that’s a very long period, so it’ll have real power and those long waits between bomb sets. The wave energy is strong, clocking in at 2645. But hang on, the air’s howling with a stiff 19 mph cross-offshore wind, and the swell height is hitting 8 ft, which is getting up there for most. Conditions are clean, though, and the water temp is 15°, about normal for this time of year. That Friday morning is a "marginal" call, but the afternoon cleans up nicely with a solid 12 ft swell and a 16 mph offshore breeze (9209 wave energy). This is the standout of the first week – proper size, good direction, and clean lines for those who can handle it.
Saturday the 4th keeps the swell at 12 ft in the morning, with a gentle offshore from the WSW (9 mph) and a period of 13 seconds. Wave energy is still strong at 4839. This is "excellent" for experienced surfers. The afternoon drops to 8 ft but picks up a cross-offshore, still clean but a step down. Sunday the 5th is a write-off with cross-onshore SE winds and lumpy conditions. From Monday the 6th through to Thursday the 9th, the swell drops right off, mostly under 4 ft, with poor to marginal conditions. There’s a stretch of a few days with nothing worth paddling out for.
The second week picks up again on Tuesday the 14th. That morning sees a 10 ft SW swell with a short period of 9 seconds, but it’s blowing offshore at 12 mph (1437 energy). The afternoon is where it’s at: 12 ft from the SSW with a long 15-second period, gentle offshore wind, and massive wave energy of 5626. That’s a beast, and it’s "excellent" for the experienced crew. Keep an eye on the 15th, though – strong cross-onshore winds will trash it. After that, things drop off again, with only small, messy leftovers until the 18th. The very last afternoon on Saturday the 18th has a tiny 2 ft clean wave (301 energy) – not a standouts, but a small glassy session for a longboard.
The big call? Friday the 3rd afternoon and Tuesday the 14th afternoon are your best shots. That Tuesday is a hopeful long-range standout – solid size, clean wind, and serious power – but don’t book your flights just yet; it’s a way off. Point Roadnight is a picky break, so when it lines up, you’ll have it mostly to yourself, but crowds are possible when it’s good.
Rusty signing off.

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.
