The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Let’s talk about Point Roadnight. This point break doesn't fire often, so when conditions line up, you want to be ready. It’s fairly exposed and works best with a SSE swell, but we’re looking at a solid run of SSW to SW groundswells over the next couple of weeks. The water’s around 58°, right where it should be for this time of year – nothing out of the ordinary.
The first few days are quiet. Saturday the 18th shows some potential – a 3ft SW groundswell (14 seconds) with a light cross-offshore breeze and moderate energy (382). Clean enough. By afternoon it drops to 3ft and turns glassy, but energy’s weaker (250).
Sunday and Monday are flat and poor – tiny 2 to 2ft swells with messy winds. Tuesday the 21st morning picks up a little with a 3ft SW swell (14 seconds) and clean conditions – still small. Wednesday the 22nd afternoon brings a 4ft SW swell (10 seconds), offshore wind, and moderate energy (401) – a clean window worth noting.
Now, Thursday the 23rd – that’s the one. Morning delivers a solid 12ft SW groundswell (14 seconds), strong offshore wind, and very strong energy (7077). This is for experts only – big, clean, and powerful. Afternoon holds similar size and energy (6612) with offshore breeze. Circle this day.
Friday the 24th drops to 7 to 7ft SSW groundswell (15 seconds) – still solid, but cross-offshore wind and moderate energy (1786 to 2053). Tide could be a factor. Saturday the 25th afternoon offers a more manageable 5ft SSW swell (13 seconds), clean and moderate energy (784) – a good option if the big stuff’s too much.
Sunday the 26th fades, then Monday the 27th morning brings a clean 3ft SW swell (14 seconds) with offshore wind and moderate energy (732) – a nice little session. Monday afternoon jumps to 10ft SW (13 seconds), cross-offshore, strong energy (3745), but it gets choppy.
Tuesday the 28th is massive – 13ft SW groundswell (15 seconds) with very strong energy (8535) – only for the brave, and cross-shore wind adds chop. Wednesday the 29th afternoon cleans up with 4ft SSW (12 seconds) and offshore wind – moderate energy (535), a nice way to finish the first week.
Into the second week, things taper off. Thursday the 30th is tiny – 1 to 2ft – barely worth suiting up. Friday the 31st morning is a standout: 5ft SSW (11 seconds), glassy, moderate energy (942) – a rare clean session. Saturday the 1st of August morning holds 5ft SSW at a very long 16 seconds, glassy again, with strong energy (1289). That long period should work a treat at this point break.
Sunday the 2nd of August sees 5ft SW (17 seconds) with cross-onshore wind and strong energy (1633) – okay but not perfect.
Bottom line: Thursday the 23rd is the big day – big, clean, and powerful. Friday the 31st morning and Saturday the 1st of August morning are the glassy, long-period highlights for the second week.
Stay safe out there.
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.

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.
