The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and here's how the surf's lookin' for Point Roadnight over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a slow start, but there's some real firepower coming down the pipeline.
We're looking at a quiet start to the outlook. The first few days are pretty ordinary, with small surf and onshore or cross-shore winds making it messy. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
Friday the 17th actually has a bit of swell, around 5ft from the SW, but the wind is cross and the conditions are described as marginal. The energy is moderate (1368), but it's just not clean enough to get excited about. We'll have to be patient.
The real standout is Thursday the 23rd. The swell bumps up to a solid 12ft from the SW, with a period of 13 seconds, under clean offshore winds from the W. The energy is very strong (5078), and this is a day for experienced surfers only. It's too big for beginners. This point break will be handling the long-period groundswell nicely, offering up some proper lines. The offshore wind will keep it glassy. This is the best on offer.
Friday the 24th is also a cracker, with 7ft SSW swell and a 16-second period, again under clean offshore winds. The energy is strong (3131), and while it's smaller than Thursday, it's still a solid day for the crew who know what they're doing.
The following week, around Monday the 28th, we see another pulse of 6ft SW swell with offshore winds, giving excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The energy is strong (1866). It's a promising run, but with the long-range call, it's less certain.
There's a big pulse on the 1st of August, with 15ft SW swell, but the wind is cross-onshore, making it a messy, choppy mess. The energy is huge (11887), but it's just not going to be clean for surfing. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The break is inconsistent and rarely breaks, so when it does fire, you want to be there. Crowds are possible, so get in early.
Rusty.
