The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got the full rundown on what’s cooking at Point Roadnight over the next couple of weeks. This is a classic point break that needs a solid push from the south to get going, and it’s a rare bird – it doesn’t break often, so when it does, you pay attention. It’s also fairly exposed, so it catches the energy well, but it’s a spot that mostly suits intermediates and above, especially when the swell gets serious.
The pattern kicks off with a bang. Saturday the 22nd of August is the standout, and it’s a proper chase. We’ve got a 13.1 ft swell pumping in from the SW with a 14-second period – that’s a groundswell with serious grunt. The combined energy is massive at 9104, and with a clean offshore wind from the SW, this is exceptional surf for experienced surfers only. Over 8.2 ft, it’s expert territory, and this one’s a beast. The water’s sitting at 56.5°, which is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Sunday the 23rd eases back a touch. The morning has a 4.9 ft SW swell with a 14-second period, and a light NW cross-offshore wind keeps it clean – very good for the crew that know what they’re doing. The afternoon bumps up slightly to 5.2 ft, still SW, with the period stretching to 16 seconds, and the wind switches to a light W offshore. That’s excellent for experienced surfers, with a combined energy of 1735. Solid, but not the monster of Saturday.
Monday the 24th is a bit of a downer. The swell drops to 3.9 ft in the morning, from the SSW, with a 14-second period, but a NNW cross-shore wind and clouds make it marginal. The afternoon is even smaller at 3.0 ft, with a 12-second period, and light N cross-shore winds. The energy is low at 548 and 375 – not worth paddling out for.
Tuesday the 25th stays quiet. Morning has 3.9 ft from the SSW, 13-second period, but a light E cross-onshore wind and light rain keep it ordinary. The afternoon is similar with 3.6 ft from the SW and a 13-second period, with a SSE cross-shore wind. Energy is low at 694 and 470. Not much to get excited about.
Wednesday the 26th starts to clean up. The morning has 3.3 ft from the SSW with a 12-second period, and a gentle SW offshore wind – the waves are clean, but the energy
