The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next few weeks at Point Roadnight. This spot is a rarely-breaking point break, so when it does turn on, you’ve gotta be ready. The first swell we see is a proper groundswell, but it’s also a big one.
Saturday the 25th kicks off with a solid 12 ft SW swell, period 12 seconds, and offshore WSW wind at 12 mph. The combined energy is pumping hard at 5132, so this is a powerful, heavy wave. This is expert-only territory—over 8 ft is not for the faint-hearted. The water sits at 57°, which is about average for this time of year. The morning session is the standout here: clean, offshore, and legit. The afternoon settles a bit to 6 ft, but with cross-off wind, it’s still a good option for the skilled surfer.
Sunday the 26th drops to 4 ft SSW swell in the morning, 11-second period, with that lovely cross-off wind. The afternoon goes glassy with NNW wind at 3 mph and 4 ft SW swell—super clean and pretty, but small. Not a day to write home about, but it’s a nice paddle.
Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th are a write-off. The swell drops under 3 ft, and the wind switches to cross or cross-off, but the energy is weak (215 to 437). The surf is just not there. Tuesday afternoon does see a 4 ft SW swell with a 15-second period and offshore wind, but the energy at 702 is only moderate, and the score reflects it as marginal.
Wednesday the 29th is the next real head-turner. We get an 8 ft SSW swell, 16-second period, clean with cross-off wind. The combined energy is 2967—strong, powerful groundswell. This is a long-period swell, which suits a point break like this perfectly, but it’s big again—only for experts. The crowd factor is a “sometimes” here, so you might be sharing it, but it’s worth it.
Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st offer a mellow drop-off: 5 ft to 3 ft SSW swell, with gentle offshore or glassy winds. The energy is moderate (416 to 649). These are the sessions for the intermediate crew—clean, manageable, and the point will be fun.
Now, the first week of August gets interesting. Saturday the 1st bumps up to 5 ft SW swell in the morning, blowing out to 6 ft in the afternoon, both with a very long 17-18 second period. The energy is strong (1219 to 2175). This is a long-period groundswell, and at a point break, it’s a dream setup. But it’s also a week out, so mark it as promising but not locked in.
Sunday the 2nd holds at 7 ft SW swell, 16 seconds, with cross-off wind and energy at 2143. Another solid day for the experienced crew.
From Monday the 3rd to Sunday the 9th, the surf fades quickly. The swell drops under 5 ft, and by the 4th it’s under 2 ft with onshore winds. The energy falls below 300, and the wind is messy. There’s a gap of nearly a week with no real recommendations. The only flicker is Friday the 7th afternoon, with a 3 ft SW swell and 16-second period, energy at 1233, but the wind is cross-off and the score is marginal. It’s a quiet end to the run.
The standout days are Saturday the 25th morning for the pure power, and Wednesday the 29th for the clean, long-period groundswell. The first week of August also has potential, but it’s further out, so keep an eye on it.
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.
