The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming down the line.

First up, it’s a bit of a slow start. The next few days are pretty ordinary. We’ve got some small, weak swell and bumpy winds, so don’t get too excited just yet. Things start to build mid-week, and the real standout is shaping up for Wednesday the 12th of August.

Point Roadnight is the only game in town, and it’s a point break that rarely breaks, so when it does, you pay attention. It’s a fairly exposed spot, picking up swell from the SSE and SW.

The first real action kicks off Monday afternoon, the 10th of August. The swell comes up to 4ft from the SW with a period of 17 seconds – that’s a nice long groundswell. The wind swings offshore from the SW at 19 mph , making for clean, groomed lines. The combined energy is moderate at 901. It’s not huge, but for a point break, that long-period swell should wrap in nicely.

Now, the standout. Wednesday morning, the 12th of August, is the one to circle. The swell jumps to 10ft from the SW, period 16 seconds, with offshore wind from the W at 16 mph . That’s strong, powerful, and clean. The combined energy is a hefty 6167, which is strong. This is for experienced surfers only – 10ft is too much for beginners. The break is inconsistent but when it runs, it’ll be proper.

Thursday the 13th keeps the quality up. Morning has 7ft from the SSW, period 15 seconds, with a cross-offshore breeze from the NW at 9 mph . Clean lines, solid energy at 2272. Afternoon holds similar size, 7ft from the SW, period 15 seconds, wind swinging cross-off from the WNW at 9 mph , energy 2192. Excellent conditions for those who know what they’re doing.

Friday the 14th is another good one. Morning brings 7ft from the SSW, period 16 seconds, cross-off wind from the W at 9 mph , energy 2136. Afternoon, the swell holds at 7ft from the SW, period 16 seconds, and the wind goes offshore from the SW at 12 mph – clean and punchy, energy at 2464.

After that, things mellow out through the weekend and into the following week. The swell drops back below 5ft, and the winds become more onshore or cross-shore, so it gets a bit sloppy. There’s a glimmer on Monday the 17th of August morning – 4ft from the SW, period 16 seconds, with glassy conditions (ENE at 3 mph ). That would be a nice, clean, smaller session if you’re keen. Energy is a moderate 565.

The rest of the second week looks small and mostly poor, with onshore winds and weak swell under 3ft. Not much to write home about there.

One thing to note: Point Roadnight rarely breaks, so these windows are the ones to chase. Crowds are possible here, so keep that in mind if you head out on the good days.

The water temperature is around 57°F , which is about average for this time of year.

So, the best of the bunch: Wednesday morning, the 12th of August, for the big, clean groundswell, and Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th for solid, clean conditions on a dropping swell. Don’t sleep on Monday the 17th morning if you want a quieter, glassy session.

Rusty.

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.

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.
