The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for our local stretch, Point Roadnight. Straight up, it’s a bit of a waiting game. There’s nothing worth paddling out for this first weekend, so don’t bother rushing.
We’re looking at a blank run from now until Monday, September 14th. The surf is tiny and weak, with combined swell energy barely hitting 169, so just forget it. Winds are starting to clean up, but there’s no power behind it.
The first real flicker of hope comes Tuesday morning, September 15th. That’s when a solid 8ft SSW groundswell rolls in with a 13-second period. The energy jumps up to 3451, so you’ll feel that. The wind is offshore from the WSW at 25 km/h, which will keep it clean. This is a standout, but honestly, at that size and with a shortish period for a groundswell, it’s going to be a freight train. The cross-offshore breeze on Wednesday, September 16th, keeps the 7ft to 8ft range looking okay, but it’s not as punchy. Thursday morning, September 17th, settles down to a manageable 6ft with clean conditions, but the energy drops way off to 1099.
Another real standout pops up on Tuesday, September 22nd. We’ve got a 10ft SSW groundswell with a very long 16-second period and massive energy of 4121. That is a serious, powerful groundswell. However, it’s onshore from the east at just 10 km/h. For a beach-and-reef setup, that long period will see it jacking up and breaking too straight, plus that onshore wind will chop it up. This one is for the experts only, and even then, it might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The best of that week arrives on Wednesday afternoon, September 23rd, when the swell drops to a still-chunky 5ft from the SSW, the wind goes clean, and the energy sits at 1004. That’s your window.
Point Roadnight is rarely breaking, so this kind of patchy run isn’t a huge surprise. Keep your eyes on that Tuesday the 22nd before you write it off, but don’t hold your breath. The water temp is about 57°, which is average for the time of year.
Stay sharp.
Rusty.
