The Lowdown
Alright mate, let’s talk about Point Roadnight. This is a point break that’s a bit of a rare bird – it doesn’t break all that often, so when it does, it’s a special thing. Water temp is about 58°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The first few days are a bit of a dud. Tuesday 21st and Wednesday 22nd are small and messy, not worth getting wet. But Thursday 23rd – that’s the one. Early morning we’ve got a solid 12ft swell from the SW, with a 14-second period, and a nice offshore breeze from the WSW. The energy is huge (7179). This is a genuine standout for experienced surfers. It’s way too big for beginners. The offshore wind will keep it glassy, but that size and long period will make it a heavy, powerful wave. The afternoon drops to 10ft, still strong, but the wind picks up to 19 mph. Still a good call for the brave.
Friday 24th is down to 8ft, but the period goes out to 16 seconds. That’s a very long period groundswell, which can be a bit tricky at beach breaks, but for a point, it’ll line up nicely. The wind is cross-off from the WNW, so it’s clean. Not the standout, but a solid session.
Saturday 25th morning has another 12ft pulse from the SW, but the period is shorter at 12 seconds. The energy is high (4596), but it might be a bit lumpy. The afternoon is better with a 10ft swell and a 12 mph offshore from the WSW, giving excellent conditions for experienced surfers. That’s a good one.
Sunday 26th drops to 4ft, so it’s back to small. The rest of the week into early August is a mix of small to moderate swells, but the wind is often cross-off or offshore, keeping it clean. Wednesday 29th morning has a 10ft swell from the SSW with a 15-second period, and a light cross-off wind. That’s another excellent session for experienced surfers, with strong energy (4295). Thursday 30th morning is similar: 10ft, 13-second period, and a light offshore from the W. Great again.
The end of the first week of August drops off into small, weak waves, so you’ll be waiting. The best of the whole run is Thursday 23rd morning – the biggest swell, the best offshore wind, and the most energy. Second best is Saturday 25th afternoon, or the Wednesday 29th morning. Crowds are only sometimes an issue here, so you might have a quiet lineup.
The first week has some serious juice, but it’s for the experienced crew only. The second week fades out, so pick your moments.

Information about the Point Roadnight Surf forecast

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.
