The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Point Roadnight.
First up, the water temp is sitting at 57°, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year – no surprises there.
The forecast kicks off on Wednesday 15 July, but it's a bit of a slow start. We've got a 6ft SW groundswell (15 seconds) in the morning, but the wind is a cross-offshore, and the call is pretty marginal. It's not a total write-off, but it's not the highlight of the week. By the afternoon, the wind goes offshore and the swell drops a touch to 5ft, and it's looking a lot cleaner. The combined energy is strong (1094), so there's plenty of push.
The real standout comes in on Thursday 16 July. The morning session is looking excellent for experienced surfers, with a 6ft SSW groundswell at 15 seconds and a 6 mph offshore wind. The energy is pumping (1692). Then Thursday afternoon gets even better – the wind goes glassy, the swell is 6ft from the SW, and it's clean as a whistle. That's primo.
Friday 17 July holds up well too. Clean 5ft SW swell (16 seconds) in the morning with a light cross-off, and by the afternoon it's glassy again with 5ft waves. This is solid, consistent groundswell.
After that, the surf drops off significantly. Saturday 18 July and Sunday 19 July see the swell fading to under 3ft, with the energy dropping to weak levels. The rest of that week, from Monday 20 July through to Wednesday 22 July, is pretty much a write-off – small, weak, and mostly cross or cross-off winds. Not worth paddling out for.
Then on Thursday 23 July, the swell kicks back in. A 4ft SW groundswell (16 seconds) with a 9 mph offshore wind makes for a very clean morning. By the afternoon, it's up to 6ft with a moderate offshore, and the energy is strong again (1474). This is a return to form.
Now, the absolute standout of the entire 16-day window is Friday 24 July afternoon. The swell is a massive 13ft from the SW (15 seconds), and the combined energy is a monstrous 9591. The wind is offshore at 9 mph. This is exceptional, expert-level surf. It's big, powerful, and clean. For the experienced crew only.
Saturday 25 July is still big, with 8ft SSW swell, but the morning is a bit marginal. The afternoon though, with a 12 mph offshore wind and 8ft swell, is excellent for experienced surfers. The energy is huge (2784).
The surf stays strong through the end of the month, with 7ft to 7ft SSW/SW swells and clean conditions. The last few days of July and into the 30th see the swell drop back to smaller, more manageable sizes, but still with some clean, glassy sessions.
To sum it up: the best on offer is hands down the Friday 24 July afternoon session, with that 13ft monster swell and offshore wind. For a slightly smaller, but still epic run, the Thursday 16 July and Friday 17 July are your best early bets. The middle of the period has a long flat spell, but it roars back to life. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, so keep that in mind for the standouts.
Rusty.

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.
