The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Point Roadnight over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow burner to start, but there’s some serious size and power lining up further out. We’ll have to be patient and pick our moments.

The opening of the week is pretty quiet. Monday and Tuesday, we’ve got some small, mid-period swell running, but the wind is mostly cross-offshore and there’s a bit of rain around. The energy is weak (817 on Monday morning dropping to 440 by Tuesday), so it’s not going to be doing much. You’d be scratching for a wave, and the tide isn’t doing us any favors either. It’s a bit of a write-off.

Wednesday, August 5th, things start to wake up. The swell stays around the 5ft mark, but the wind swings offshore in the morning and stays that way through the afternoon. The afternoon is where it’s at – the period jumps up to 14 seconds and the energy kicks into moderate territory (1430). That’s a proper clean, offshore push with decent shape. It’s for the experienced crew, but it’s looking good.

Thursday the 6th drops right off again, leaving us with just ankle-biters and a long-period, weak swell. Nothing doing. Friday the 7th has a small pulse with 3ft and a 16-second period, but it’s the afternoon that’s the gem. The wind goes completely glassy, and you get those clean, long lines rolling in. It’s not big, but the conditions will be absolutely perfect for a cruiser session. That’s a highlight if you’re not chasing size.

The weekend (August 8th and 9th) gets messy. The wind picks up from the north and goes cross-shore, chopping up what little swell there is. Throw in some light rain, and you’ve got a proper poor run. If you’re a kite surfer, maybe there’s something there, but for a paddle, forget it.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The following week starts with a bang. Monday the 10th sees a big groundswell arrive, but it’s too much. By the afternoon, it’s pushing a massive 20ft with a 16-second period and the energy is off the charts (24254). That’s way too big for this break – it would be a washing machine. Best to watch from the cliffs that day.

Tuesday the 11th is the one to circle. The swell drops back to a still-hefty 8ft in the morning, with a 16-second period and strong energy (3260). The wind is cross-offshore and clean. The comment says it all – excellent conditions for experienced surfers. This is the standout of the window. It’s big, powerful, and clean. You’ll want your wetsuit and your best board. The afternoon backs off a bit to 7ft and gets a bit more marginal on the tide.

After that, it backs off a little, but the long-range forecast has another huge pulse around the 13th and 14th. On the 13th, there’s another 18ft monster in the morning (energy 14790), which is again too big, but it drops to 12ft by the afternoon with a 14-second period. That’s still big, but manageable for the experts. Thursday the 14th has a cleaner 10ft with a very long 19-second period, which is a proper groundswell. That’s a standout for the point, but the long period might make it a bit straight at a beach break. At a point like this, it should be firing.

The weekend of the 15th and 16th brings more moderate, clean surf – around the 5ft to 6ft range with good energy. It’s not as epic as the mid-week, but it’s clean and fun.

By the 17th and 18th, we’re winding down back to small, clean waves. The energy is weak (around 359 to 882), but there’s still some shape to be had, especially with the offshore winds.

So, to sum it up: don’t waste your time early this week. The real action is next Tuesday the 11th, with that excellent 8ft clean swell, and then again on Thursday the 14th with that huge 19-second groundswell. Those are the true standouts. The late-week glassy conditions on Friday the 7th are a nice little bonus for the people who just want to get wet without the crowds. Keep an eye on the tide charts, and be ready to move when the swell hits.

Water temp’s about average for this time of year at 57°F, so it’s not a shock to the system.

Catch you in the water.

Rusty.

Information about the Point Roadnight Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Point Roadnight provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Point Roadnight can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
