Point Roadnight Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Point Roadnight’s got in store over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, with some firecracker days up front and a whole lot of flatness in between before a big fella shows up.

The first good window kicks off Thursday the 13th. We’ve got a proper SW groundswell, head-high plus, around 7 feet, with a long 16-second period. The energy is solid, reading 2444, and a cross-off breeze will have the faces clean and rippable. The water temp is 57°F, pretty standard for the season. Thursday afternoon lightens up even more, and those 7-foot sets are still pouring in. This is a standout for experienced surfers – powerful and fast.

Friday the 14th is similar, a touch smaller at around 6-7 feet, still with that long-period push. The morning offshore wind cleans it right up. It’s another solid day, but the afternoon gets a bit more cross-off and the quality drops a notch.

Saturday the 15th is the best of the early run. The swell eases to about 6 feet, but the wind goes glassy in the morning. The energy’s still moderate at 1474, and those long SW lines will be peeling down the point with real shape. This is your morning session. The afternoon stays clean with a light cross-off, still plenty of fun.

Then the plug gets pulled. From Sunday the 16th, the bottom falls out. The swell drops to 4 feet and under, the wind goes onshore, and the energy just dies. We’re looking at a stretch of nearly a week – from the 16th to the 22nd – where there's just nothing worth chasing. The swell bottoms out at a measly 2 feet, with choppy, onshore winds. There’s a day where the wind goes calm, but the waves are still only around 3 feet, so it’s a lake, not a surf. This is the kind of flat spell that tests your soul.

The ocean finally starts to stir again on the 24th with a new pulse of SW swell, around 5 feet, but it’s accompanied by a fresh cross-off breeze that’s going to make it lumpy and messy. Not great. The 25th cleans up a bit with a proper offshore wind and waves around 4 feet – surfable, but nothing special.

Now, for the big one. Keep your eyes on Thursday the 27th. The long-range charts are hinting at a serious groundswell, a genuine monster. We're looking at 15 feet of SW swell with a 16-second period, and the energy reading is an enormous 14406. That's a huge amount of water moving. The wind is forecast to be a cross-off, which is about as good as it gets for a point break. This has the potential to be a true highlight of the season, but it's over a week away, so treat it as a promising possibility, not a guarantee. Be aware, with size like that, it’s strictly a big-wave spot for the most experienced crew. It’s a rare occasion for this break, which is a big part of what makes it so special.

So, plan for the next few days: Thursday, Friday, and especially Saturday morning are your go-to sessions. Then prepare for a week of nothing. And then, maybe, just maybe, we get a day to remember on the 27th. Keep it salty.

This is Rusty, out.
