The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Point Roadnight.
Right, I’ll be straight with you. The next few days are a bit of a mixed bag, and it’s not a classic run of surf. There’s a big gap of nothing worthwhile at the start, so forget about the first week. The real action, if you can call it that, kicks off later.
The water temp is sitting around 57°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The first real standout is late on Saturday the 12th. The wind drops right out and goes glassy in the afternoon. The swell is a clean 5ft from the SW, with a solid 15-second period, giving it some real push. The combined energy is moderate (978). For a wave that rarely breaks, this is a golden window. It’ll be small but clean, and the offshore direction is a bonus. It’s not a day for the big boards, but for a point break that’s usually quiet, this is the one to circle.
After that, it gets messy and small, with strong onshore winds and junk conditions through Sunday and Monday. Not worth your time.
Then, on the 15th, look out. Tuesday morning brings a very solid 13ft SW swell, but the period is a short 13 seconds, so it’s a bit of a wind swell. The energy is strong (7681), but that size is strictly for experts only. It’ll be clean with cross-off winds, but it’s a raw, powerful beast. For the average punter, it’s a no-go.
The next decent window is the morning of the 17th (Thursday) with a 5ft SSW swell and a clean, cross-off breeze. It’s a nice, manageable size. Then the 18th (Friday) morning looks even better for experienced surfers, with 8ft SSW swell and clean conditions. The energy is moderate (2032). That’s your best bet in the second week if you’ve got the chops.
The very end of the run, the 23rd and 25th, has some big numbers again – 15ft and 8ft swells – but the conditions are marginal or cross-on, so it’s a bit of a gamble.
Overall, the standout is that glassy Saturday afternoon session. After that, keep an eye on the 18th for a proper, clean swell for the experienced crew. The rest is a waiting game.
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.
