The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a solid run of swell aimed at Point Roadnight, a point break that’s rare to come alive, so when it does, you’ve got to pay attention. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing crazy there.
The week kicks off with some small, clean waves on Wednesday the 26th. Morning sees a 3ft SSW swell with a 12-second period and a gentle cross-off breeze. The combined energy is moderate (440). It’s rideable, but not much more than that. The afternoon picks up a little to 4ft, same direction, but the wind gets a bit stronger. Still, just marginal surf.
Thursday the 27th is tiny. Morning has 3ft SSW swell, 11 seconds, and a light cross-off. By the afternoon, it drops to 2ft, but the wind goes glassy. The energy is weak (227), and it’s just not enough to get excited about.
Now, Friday the 28th is the first real standout. Morning brings a 3ft SW groundswell with a very long 18-second period, offshore wind, and clean conditions. The energy is strong (719), and the combo of long period and a point break setup means the waves will have shape and power. This is the best bet in the early window. The afternoon is a bit bigger at 4ft but the wind goes cross-off, and the quality drops.
Saturday the 29th has a 3ft SW swell in the morning with offshore wind and a moderate 14-second period. Clean, but not the standout. Sunday the 30th is a gem: morning sessions are glassy with a 4ft SSW swell, 13 seconds, and very good energy (765). The afternoon is where it’s at though – 4ft, but the period jumps to 17 seconds, and the energy rockets to 1532. The wind is light cross-off, and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. This is a serious highlight.
Monday the 31st brings a bigger 6ft SSW swell, 15 seconds, and strong energy. Morning is cross-on, but the afternoon has a cross-off breeze and very good conditions. Tuesday the 1st of September is a write-off with strong, lumpy cross-shore winds.
The second week looks promising but a bit more uncertain. Wednesday the 2nd has a 4ft SW swell, 16 seconds, with gentle offshore wind in the morning and glassy conditions in the afternoon. Good stuff. Thursday the 3rd has a 4ft SW swell with moderate offshore wind, solid energy (666), and clean surf.
Friday the 4th of September is a standout. The afternoon is glassy with a 5ft SW swell, 15 seconds, and massive energy (1769). Excellent conditions for experienced surfers. Saturday the 5th is not for the faint-hearted: 7ft SSW swell, 17 seconds, and energy over 2600. This is big, powerful, and only for experts. The wind is cross-off, but the swell size is intimidating.
Sunday the 6th is even bigger – 8ft SW swell, 14 seconds, and extreme energy (3703). The offshore wind is fresh, but this is serious. Only the most experienced should even look at it. The week after that sees solid 6-7ft SW swells, with Tuesday the 8th and Thursday the 10th offering excellent, clean conditions for experienced surfers.
Overall, the best on offer is the afternoon of Sunday the 30th of August – that 4ft long-period groundswell with glassy conditions at a rare-breaking point. It doesn’t get much better than that. The afternoon of Friday the 4th of September is also a true standout. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
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.
