Point Roadnight Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break it down. Only one spot in the data, and it’s Point Roadnight – a point break that rarely breaks, so when it does, you better be there.

The swell kicks off Wednesday, July 15th, with a solid SW groundswell around 6 ft, period of 15 seconds – that’s proper long period energy, perfect for a point. The morning has a cross-off wind, but it’s clean. The real standout is Thursday, July 16th. That morning you’ve got 6 ft from the SSW with a 15-second period, and a light offshore wind from the west. Then in the afternoon, it goes glassy – dead calm with a 3 mph southerly breeze. That is gold. The combined energy is strong, at 1692 in the morning, 1538 in the arvo. For experienced surfers, this is the pick of the run. Water temp is 57°, pretty normal for this time of year.

Friday, July 17th, stays good – 5 ft to 5 ft, still that long 16-second period, with light offshore or cross-off winds. Clean, fun, just not the standout Thursday is.

Saturday, July 18th, drops off quickly. Swell down to 3 ft in the morning, 3 ft in the afternoon. Morning is clean, but energy is weak (387). That glassy afternoon again, but with tiny waves.

Then from Sunday, July 19th, through the end of the month, it’s a long stretch of poor to marginal conditions. Swell heights under 3 ft, often with cross-shore winds and weak energy. A little spike on July 23rd (Thursday) with a 6 ft SW swell and a 16 mph offshore wind, but the wind is moderate, so not glassy. That’s for the hardy.

The real standout, the one to circle, is Thursday, July 16th. The afternoon session, with 6 ft of SW groundswell, glassy conditions, and a point break that loves that long period – that’s as good as it gets. The crowd factor says “sometimes,” so you might have a few others, but it’s worth it.

After that, the second week looks pretty flat and ordinary. Not much to get excited about, but it’s a rare-breaker, so you take the good days when they come.

Rusty.
