The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking the next 16 days at Point Roadnight. Gotta level with you: it’s a bumpy ride with a few quiet patches, but there are a couple of windows worth setting your alarm for. We start off with some serious size, but it’s not all clean.
Thursday the 23rd has a 12ft to 13ft SW swell, 14-second period, so there’s a lot of energy out there (combined energy 6859 to 7834). The wind is a moderate breeze, cross-off at best, and the report calls it marginal because of the tide. This is powerful, heavy groundswell on a point – only for experts. Fun to watch, but the wind isn’t giving us that glassy perfection.
Friday the 24th is similar: a 13ft SW swell in the afternoon with moderate cross-off wind. Huge energy (8240), but still big and not completely clean. Saturday the 25th afternoon shapes up much better: a 10ft SW swell with offshore WSW wind at 12 mph. That’s clean, lined-up, and powerful. The combined energy is still very strong (3962). This is the standout for experienced surfers who can handle a solid swell at a point. This spot rarely breaks, so when it’s on, you want to be there. Expect some company, though.
Then the bottom falls out. Sunday the 26th sees the swell drop to 4ft and 4ft, and the energy crashes to 346 then 284. Monday the 27th has strong, onshore wind and rain. Just forget it. There’s a long, flat stretch from Sunday through the middle of the following week where the surf is small, weak, or blown out. A few days of nothing worth paddling for.
The next real moment comes Tuesday the 29th afternoon: 6ft of SSW swell with a very long 16-second period and offshore wind. The energy is moderate (1424), and the report says “excellent for experienced surfers.” This is clean, punchy, and lined up. Crowds are possible.
The first weekend of August is where things get fun. Saturday the 1st has 4ft to 5ft SW swell, 15-second period, with light offshore or cross-off winds. Energy is moderate (804 to 885). Glassy, clean, and fun. Sunday the 2nd is just as clean with a light S wind, almost glassy. Classic, manageable point surf.
The absolute pick of the bunch is Thursday, August 6th. Morning: 5ft SW swell, 16-second period, gentle cross-off wind, solid energy (1487). Afternoon goes glassy with a light SSE breeze. That’s the one. Clean, long-period groundswell, best shape of the whole run. Not too big, so intermediate surfers who can handle a long-period point can get on it.
Water temp is about normal for the season – nothing weird there.
Bottom line: Saturday the 25th afternoon for the big-wave crew. Then a dry spell. Then a really nice, clean run kicking off the first week of August, with Thursday the 6th being the absolute standout. Mark it.

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.
