The Lowdown
Alright, grab your wettie, listen up. This is Rusty, and I've got the lowdown on Point Roadnight for the next couple of weeks. There’s a bit of a slow start but some absolute monsters are lining up for the patient ones.
The main story here is a serious pulse of SW groundswell that rolls in next week, but we've got to wait for it. The water is sitting at a pretty average 57°, nothing weird happening there for this time of year.
It’s a quiet start. Through Wednesday and Thursday of this week, we've got a solid swell easing down from 10 ft to 5 ft, with fresh offshore winds making for clean waves. But the tide look questionable, so it's not the standout. Friday stays clean but small, with 4 ft to 3 ft waves. Then comes the weekend—a total write-off. Saturday and Sunday are blown out with cross-shore winds and really poor surf. The swell drops out completely.
Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th are still small, with clean but weak 3 ft to 4 ft waves. It’s not worth jumping for.
Now, keep your eyes on Wednesday the 5th through to Thursday the 6th. We get some gentle offshore or glassy conditions with a clean 3 ft to 4 ft groundswell. It's still not the big show.
The big show is Wednesday the 12th of August. That afternoon, we’re looking at a massive 15 ft swell from the WSW with a moderate offshore wind. The combined energy is absolutely pumping at 12,811—that's strong to very strong energy. This is a serious, expert-only session. The period is 15 seconds, a proper groundswell, which at a point like Point Roadnight will hold up and groom into some incredible, heavy lines. This is the absolute standout of the whole forecast for the experienced crew.
Before that, Tuesday the 11th sees a solid 8 ft SW groundswell with a moderate offshore wind, also worth a look for the strong swimmers.
After that, it all fades again. Thursday the 13th and beyond are small or blown out, so aim for that epic Wednesday.
Keep it salty, and don't be late for that 12th.
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.

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.
