Point Roadnight Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

Alright, we’ve got a solid 16-day window here at Point Roadnight, and there’s a bit of a slow start followed by some real gold. The water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

The surf kicks off Wednesday, August 5th, with a clean 5ft SW swell pushing in with 639 (moderate energy) behind it. That’s a nice little pulse to start, but the real standout doesn’t hit until the end of the first week. Friday morning, August 7th, the swell drops to 3ft but the period stretches to 16 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The wind goes glassy in the afternoon, and with 651 (moderate energy) you’re looking at clean, lined-up waves. This is a beautiful, mellow session for intermediates. The break is a point, so that long-period SW swell will wrap in nicely.

Now, the absolute standout of the whole run is a big one. On Thursday, August 13th, we’re looking at 10ft SW swell with a 17-18 second period. That’s massive energy (6251 to 5962 – strong to very strong). This is for experienced surfers only – too big for beginners. The wind is offshore and moderate, keeping it clean. That’s a rare, powerful day for a spot that rarely breaks like this. If you’re a solid surfer, mark that date.

The following Saturday, August 15th, is another cracker. 7ft SW swell, 16 seconds, light breeze, and clean. 2198 (strong energy) – still a heavy day but not as intense as the 13th. The wind stays clean, and the break is handling it well.

There’s a bit of a gap from the 9th to the 10th where the wind and smaller swell make it less appealing, but the long-range stuff from the 13th onward is where the magic is. Keep in mind, the 13th is over a week out, so that’s a promising but less certain call. The second week holds some smaller, glassy days around the 17th and 18th with 3ft SW swell and 15-16 second periods, but the energy is lower (390-586). Those are fun, mellow sessions for the patient surfer.

The spot is a point break, so it handles the longer-period swells well, but it is rarely breaking, so when it lines up, it’s a treat. Crowds are possible – it’s a known spot.

Rusty.
