The Lowdown
Righto, grab a coffee and settle in. Rusty here, lookin' at what's on offer for Point Roadnight over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a tease, this one.
Right off the bat, we're in a dry spell. The first few days are flat and messy, with nothing worth paddling out for. Expect a long gap of poor surf until things start to get interesting later in the week.
Our first real chance to get wet kicks off on Friday morning, August 21st. It's just a *marginal* call – small swell at 2 ft from the SW, period around 15 seconds. The wind is a steady cross-offshore though, keeping it clean. Wave energy is moderate at 296. It’s not a standout, but it’s a sign of life. By Friday afternoon the swell drops to 2 ft, but with a longer 18-second period, the energy picks up nicely to 375. Still clean, same gentle cross-off breeze. It’s the first surfable window, but you'll need a log.
Now, the standout for this whole run. Saturday, August 22nd. Morning sees the swell jump to a solid 5 ft from the SW, with a 16-second period and wave energy rocketing to 1207. The wind? Offshore from the West at 12 mph. That’s proper clean, lined-up swell at a point break. This is the one for intermediate surfers who know what they're doing. The afternoon is just as good, 5 ft with light offshore breezes. This is your best bet of the whole forecast. The swell is chest to head high, with some real push.
Sunday, August 23rd is still excellent, with 5 ft SW swell and a 14 to 16-second period. The energy is huge at 1462 on Sunday afternoon, and the conditions are clean. It's still big stuff, so you'll want to be comfortable. For late August, this is a proper little run.
Things settle down a bit into the next week. Monday, August 24th is smaller and more marginal, with onshore winds. We then hit another dry patch from Tuesday, August 25th right through to Friday morning, August 28th, with mostly cross-shore winds and ordinary conditions.
Friday, August 28th morning looks promising again. That 5 ft SW swell returns with a very long 17-second period and solid 1173 energy. Light cross-offshore wind keeps it clean. This is another great window, but remember the long period – it’ll be holding up a bit at a point break, should be peeling nicely.
The big one to watch from there is Saturday, August 29th morning. We see a massive 10 ft SW swell with 15-second period. The energy is an enormous 5720. That’s a heavy, powerful ocean. Strong SSW winds (16 mph) keep it clean with a cross-offshore flow, but this is expert territory only. This is a serious, heavy groundswell – only for the experienced. The afternoon drops back to 5 ft.
After that, the swell fades out through the end of the month and into September, with mostly poor, onshore conditions. There’s a glimmer on September 3rd afternoon – a tiny 4 ft swell from the WSW but only a 7-second period and glassy conditions. It’s small and weak with 226 energy, but it’s the only calm, glassy moment on offer. Might be worth a sunset cruise on a foamie.
So, mate, lock in Saturday, August 22nd for your best chance at some proper waves, and keep an eye on Friday morning, August 28th for a quality session. The 29th is for experts only.

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. Our Point Roadnight surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Point Roadnight) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
