The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty, and here’s the look ahead for Point Roadnight.

We’ve got a solid run of swell coming through, starting Thursday the 3rd of September. This is a rare-breaking point break, so when it lines up, you really want to be on it. Thursday morning kicks off with rain showers but a clean 15ft swell from the SW, powered by very strong wave energy (8520), and a solid offshore breeze. That is proper groundswell with a 14-second period – plenty of grunt and shape, though at that size it’s expert-only territory. Thursday afternoon cleans right up: clear skies, still a 15ft SW swell, energy even higher (9147), and the offshore holds. This is the standout window. The water temp is 57°, which is pretty normal for this time of year – no surprises there.

Friday the 4th eases off with a 7ft to 8ft SW swell, but the wind goes cross-offshore, still clean but less magic. Energy drops to moderate (2526). Saturday the 5th gets messy with strong winds and poor surf – give it a miss. Sunday the 6th has cleaner conditions with light winds and 4ft to 5ft SW swell, good for a more mellow session, but energy is weak (630-849).

Monday the 7th starts with a nice offshore and 4ft SW swell, but the period drops to 8 seconds later in the day – that’s short-period slop, avoid it. Tuesday the 8th sees a long-period SW groundswell (18 seconds) with 5ft, and very strong energy (2269) – excellent for experienced surfers, though the wind is cross-offshore.

Now, the real highlight for the second week is Thursday the 10th of September. Morning brings glassy conditions – zero wind – and a clean 8ft SSW swell with a very long 18-second period. Energy is strong (3973). That’s a dreamy setup for a point break, but at that size and period it’s only for experienced crew. The afternoon goes cross-shore, so make the most of the morning glass.

The rest of the week drops off – smaller waves, cross-shore winds, and poor conditions through to the 13th. Monday the 14th picks up again with a 6ft SW groundswell and offshore breeze, solid energy (1904), worth a look. Tuesday the 15th is excellent again: light winds, 5ft to 6ft SW swell, and that classic long 17-18 second period. Energy is strong (2582). By the 17th and 18th, the swell jumps to 10ft but with strong cross-shore winds and short period – blown out and ugly, only for kites.

Best on offer: Thursday the 3rd afternoon and Thursday the 10th morning. The 3rd has the biggest, most powerful swell with perfect offshore wind. The 10th is glassy, long-period, and clean. Both are expert-only due to size. Crowds are possible at Point Roadnight when it’s working, so keep an eye out.

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.

Point Roadnight is 36 km (22 miles) from the city of Geelong. If you plan a holiday in Torquay, look for hotels and other accommodation in Geelong. Geelong has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
