The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk it out.
First thing to know – Point Roadnight is a picky spot. Doesn’t break real often, so when it’s on, you gotta make the call. We’ve got a bit of a dry spell before the real action.
Wednesday the 29th is where it starts. That’s a big SW groundswell, long-period, pushing hard. Wednesday morning you’ve got 10ft at 16 seconds off the SW, with a fresh offshore wind. That’s a lot of water moving – energy is through the roof (4764). Big, heavy, for experts only. Wednesday afternoon it gets even bigger, 12ft, still SW, 15-second period. The wind cleans up to a moderate offshore and that energy reading is 9439. That’s a standout day for the big-wave crew.
Thursday the 30th drops off to a much friendlier 5ft to 6ft from the SSW, 13-second period. Wind turns cross-off and offshore, so it’s clean. A good intermediate day, especially that afternoon.
Friday the 31st is smaller, 4ft to 4ft, light winds, clean but not powerful.
Saturday the 1st of August has that weird combo – tiny morning (2ft) but long 17-second period, and then the afternoon bumps up to 5ft but with a cross-on breeze. That long-period grunt (2048) will make the point tricky. Not the pick of the window.
Sunday the 2nd through the next few days is mostly north wind and cross-shore chop. Some cleaner windows come back Monday and Tuesday (August 3rd and 4th) with offshore flow. Tuesday afternoon is a nice one – 6ft SW, 12 seconds, moderate offshore, clean, with good energy (1282).
Wednesday the 5th of August is tiny – 2ft to 2ft – but glassy by the afternoon. Just a fun small-wave day.
Now, the big one. Wednesday afternoon, August 13th. That is the day. 7ft SW at 18 seconds – a deep, long-period groundswell. The wind is cross-off from the WNW, and the energy is 3114. Too big for beginners, but for the experienced surfer, that’s a serious session. The point should hold shape.
Tuesday morning, August 13th is also a ripper – 4ft SW at a massive 20 seconds, clean, moderate offshore. That one is prime for the crew who know the break.
Overall, there’s a bit of waiting involved, but the pay-off at the end of the run is worth it. Keep your eye on the 13th.
Rusty.

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.
