G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Point Roadnight. This ain’t a spot that lights up every day—it’s a point break that rarely breaks, so when it does, you gotta be ready. The water temp is sitting at 58°, which is about normal for this time of year, nothing to get excited about.
We’ve got a fairly quiet start, but the real standout window lands on Tuesday the 14th. Tuesday afternoon is the big one: a solid 13ft SW groundswell with a 15-second period—that’s a monster of energy (10,298) and it’s gonna be packing serious weight. Winds are offshore from the WSW at 12 mph, so it’ll be glassy clean. This is for experts only, though; anything over 8ft gets into that territory, and this is way up there. Expect long waits between sets with that period, typical for a point break.
Tuesday morning on the 14th is also pumping with 8ft SW swell and 16-second period, but it’s cross-offshore from the W at 16 mph, not quite as clean, and the energy is still high (2,545). Still a good warm-up for the brave.
Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th drop back to around 5-6ft SW swell, still with decent 14-15 second periods and mostly offshore or light winds. The energy sits between 1,094 and 1,237—moderate but workable. Not the standout day, but for intermediate crew, it’s worth a look.
Friday the 17th morning has 5ft SW swell with a 16-second period, but the wind is cross-shore from the NNW at 6 mph. Friday afternoon is glassy with 5ft SW swell and 16-second period (976 energy)—that’s a sneaky good session if you can dodge the weekend drop-off.
From Saturday the 18th onward, things fade fast. Swell drops to 2-3ft through to Wednesday the 23rd, with weak energy (under 281) and mostly poor conditions—cross-shore or cross-on winds and choppy mess. There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendations here.
Thursday the 24th shows a pulse of 3-5ft SW swell with a very long 18-19 second period—that’s groundswell, energy around 981 to 1,483—but winds are cross-off from the NW at 12 mph. It’s a promising long-range signal, but crowded? Yeah, Point Roadnight can get busy sometimes, and this might bring out the locals. Not a lock at this distance.
After that, from Friday the 25th through Tuesday the 28th, it’s mostly messy with onshore winds and lumpy surf—nothing worth getting wet for. The best bet is that Tuesday the 14th afternoon is the absolute standout: big, clean, expert-only, and not to be missed if you’ve got the stones.
Rusty out.
