The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s in store for Point Roadnight over the next couple of weeks. It’s a point break that doesn’t fire often, so when it lines up, you gotta pay attention.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a slow start. Friday the 21st is a write-off – tiny swell, messy, not worth paddling out for. We’re looking at a couple of days with nothing worth mentioning.

Then, hold onto your board shorts. Saturday the 22nd is the absolute standout. We’re talking a solid 13ft swell out of the southwest, and the wind is offshore all day. The combined swell energy is pumping at 8628 (strong to very strong). This is exceptional, big-wave territory. The period’s a long 15 seconds, so that’s a proper groundswell pushing in. It’s going to be barrel-feeding at the point, but this is strictly for experts – anything over 8ft is gnarly. Expect a crowd; it *sometimes* gets busy here.

Sunday the 23rd is still a good option. The swell drops back to 5ft from the SW, but the period stays long at 14-16 seconds. Winds are cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. The energy is moderate (1193). This is an excellent session for experienced surfers, but the size is more manageable than Saturday.

Monday the 24th turns ordinary again. The wind swings onshore and the swell drops. We get a bit of a lull for a couple of days. Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th have some swell but the winds are cross-offshore. The combined energy on Wednesday afternoon is up to 2661 (strong), with a 8ft SW swell and 13-second period, but the conditions are only marginal, so it’s not the best call.

Thursday the 27th afternoon is a sneaky little window. The swell is small, only 3ft, but the wind goes glassy. For a point break, that’s pure silk. The energy is low (393), but those clean, glassy conditions might make for some fun, small waves. It’s a low-key alternative for a sunset surf.

After that, we hit another quiet patch. From Friday the 28th through the end of August, the swell is small, the winds are mostly poor, and it’s not worth your time.

The action picks back up on Tuesday the 1st of September. It’s a small clean swell, 2-3ft out of the SW with a nice 14-16 second period. The combined energy is still in the moderate range (323-375), and the wind is light cross-offshore. It’s a good, easy paddle day for intermediates.

Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd of September see the swell building back up. Thursday afternoon is looking good: 4ft SW swell, 14 seconds, light offshore wind, and the energy is moderate (786). This is shaping up to be a very good session.

Friday the 4th of September brings a bigger, more powerful swell, hitting 6-6ft with an 18-second period. That’s a super long period groundswell. The energy jumps up to 1873-2001 (strong). Winds are cross-offshore. For a point, this kind of long-period swell will wrap in beautifully and give you long, walling rides. It’s a promising window, but with this much power, it’s going to be for experienced surfers only.

Saturday the 5th of September fades out. The swell is still there but the wind turns onshore and the conditions aren’t great.

If I had to pick one session to clear my schedule for, it’s Saturday the 22nd of August for the big-wave crew, or Thursday the 3rd of September afternoon for a more user-friendly, high-quality session with clean conditions.

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. 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.
