Point Roadnight Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got a good look at the Point Roadnight forecast for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got some ripper pulses coming through, but you’ll need to be patient and pick your windows. This point break is a rare one to see working, so when it lines up, it’s a real treat.

The water’s sitting at about 57°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

The first real standout is Sunday morning the 6th. It’s a small but clean start with a 3ft south-west swell, a long 14-second period, and light offshore west wind. The wave energy is moderate (583), and the conditions are glassy. It’s a bit small, but for a point break that rarely breaks, this is a solid, quiet session.

Things ramp up hard Sunday afternoon the 6th. The swell jumps to 8ft from the south-west, still with that 14-second period, and the wind stays offshore from the west-south-west. The energy rockets up to 2955 – a big jump – and this is excellent, powerful surf. It’s on the bigger side, so this one is for experienced surfers only. The point should handle the size well, but with a long period like that, expect long lulls between sets.

The absolute standout of the whole forecast is Wednesday afternoon the 9th. The swell hits 12ft from the south-west with a massive 18-second period. The combined energy is a monster 13595. The wind is a cross-offshore from the south-west, keeping it clean. This is proper, heavy groundswell – the kind that makes a point break like this absolutely fire. It’s huge, though, so definitely only for the experienced crew. Crowds are possible here, and on a day like this, expect a few locals to call in sick.

Now, we’ve got a bit of a lull after that. Thursday morning the 10th still has a solid 10ft south-south-west swell with offshore wind, but the quality drops. The next really good window comes back on Tuesday morning the 15th with a 7ft south-south-west swell, 16-second period, and clean cross-offshore wind. The energy is 2246, and it’s excellent for experienced surfers again.

The last true highlight is Monday the 21st. Both the morning and afternoon have a consistent 8ft south-west swell with an 18-second period, and the wind is offshore in the afternoon. The energy is 3681 and 4208, respectively. This is a long-range promise, so keep an eye on it, but it looks like a ripper way out there.

For the gaps between these big days, the middle of the second week (from the 13th to the 14th) is pretty flat or blown out. The 16th and 17th have some small, average surf, but nothing to get excited about.

If you’re a beginner, the only safe window is the very small Sunday morning the 6th. Anything over 5ft here is going to be a handful, and over 8ft is expert-only.

Rusty.
