The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, and I've been staring at the charts for Point Roadnight. This is a rare-breaking point break that only really fires when the stars align, and we've got a bit of a ride ahead of us. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual to report there.
The first few days are a bit of a tease. Tuesday the 25th is a write-off, don't bother. Wednesday the 26th is where it starts to get interesting. We've got a solid 7ft SW groundswell rolling in, and a clean offshore wind from the SW at 10 mph. This is a proper session for the experienced crew, with strong wave energy (2316). It's a bit of a beast for the groms, but for the rest of us, it's a standout.
The swell drops off Thursday and Friday, but Friday morning the 28th brings a surprise. The swell is only 3ft, but it's a long-period SW groundswell at 18 seconds and a gentle offshore wind. The wave energy is moderate (682), but that long period will wrap around the point into some real quality lines. The glassy conditions on Saturday morning the 29th are also a nice little window for a smaller, cleaner board.
Now, hold onto your leggies, because the real action is a week away. Sunday the 6th of September into Monday the 7th is a proper beast. We're looking at a 10ft SW swell with a 16-17 second period. The wind is offshore on the 6th, and then glassy cross-off on the 7th. The energy is colossal (4465 to 5364). This is the one for the experts only. The point will be handling it beautifully, but the size is serious. It's still a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but it's the one to circle on the calendar.
The rest of the period is either too small, too windy, or too messy to get excited about. There's a long gap of average conditions from the 1st to the 5th of September.
So, to sum it up: Wednesday the 26th is your first call if you've got the skills, and Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th of September are the potential big-ticket items. It's a classic case of quality over quantity here.
Rusty.

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.
