The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Well, it’s a bit of a slow start. There’s nothing doing right now, we’re looking at a gap right through until we get some proper swell. The first real chance to get wet comes on Friday the 4th, and even then it’s pretty average. The standout of the whole run is hands down Thursday the 3rd, but we’ll get to that.
Point Roadnight is the only show in town. This is a point break that rarely breaks, so when it does, it’s a special event. It’s fairly exposed to the SW swell, and it’s hungry for a SSE direction to be at its best.
The real gem is Thursday morning, the 3rd of September. We’ve got a solid 13 ft SW swell pulsing in with a period of 14 seconds. That’s proper groundswell with plenty of energy – the combined energy reading is a massive 8086. The wind is offshore from the WSW at 25 km/h, which is going to hold those waves up nicely. This is proper, heavy, expert-only territory. At over 8 ft, this is for the big dogs only. If you’ve got the skills, this is the session.
After that, the swell drops back but hangs around. Friday morning the 4th offers a 7 ft SW swell with a 16 second period (2332 combined energy). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NW at 15 km/h, keeping things clean. It’s a solid option for experienced surfers, but it’s not the standout that Thursday was.
Sunday morning the 6th sees a smaller but clean 5 ft SW swell with a 14 second period. The wind is light offshore from the WSW at 10 km/h, and the energy is moderate at 906. Good for a fun, less intense session.
Then we wait. There’s a bit of a lull through the middle of the week before another pulse shows up. Tuesday morning the 8th brings a 5 ft SW swell with a very long 18 second period. That’s a lot of energy for the size (2033 combined energy). Wind is light cross-off from the WNW at 5 km/h, glassy conditions. For a point break, that long period is going to produce some beautifully lined-up waves.
The next big one is Thursday morning the 10th of September. Another solid pulse of 10 ft SSW swell with an 18 second period – that’s 5854 combined energy. Offshore wind from the SW at 10 km/h makes this another expert-only day. The period is so long that at a beach break it might be too straight, but here at the point, it should be a dream.
Monday afternoon the 14th has a standout moment: a 7 ft SW swell with a 17 second period and glassy conditions – no wind at all. That’s as clean as it gets. The combined energy is 2235. This is a really promising session for experienced surfers.
Finally, Thursday afternoon the 17th sees another big pulse of 10 ft SSW swell, but this time with a shorter 13 second period and a cross-offshore wind. The energy is 4506, but the wind is a bit stronger at 25 km/h. It’s still a solid option for the experts.
Water temp is sitting around 57° F, which is about average for this time of year. No surprises there.
Rusty out.

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.
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.
