Point Roadnight Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Point Roadnight over the next couple of weeks.

First up, the water temp is sitting around 14° C, which is about average for this time of year – nothing to write home about, but you won’t need a steamer with a hood.

Now, the first few days are a bit of a tease. Tuesday and Wednesday have some swell, but the wind is messy and the surf is pretty ordinary. There’s a long gap of poor conditions before we get to the real standout.

Thursday, 5th September: This is the one to circle on the calendar. By Thursday afternoon, the wind swings offshore from the West at 15 mph, and the swell jumps. We’re looking at a solid 15 ft SW groundswell with a 14-second period. The energy is pumping hard (8746). This is proper, powerful stuff – only for experienced surfers who know what they’re doing. The wind will be clean and offshore, making for some seriously good, heavy waves. This is the best session on offer, no question.

Friday, 6th September: The swell drops a touch but is still a beefy 8 ft from the SW on Saturday afternoon, with a fresh offshore wind. It’s still solid, but the quality is a notch below the Thursday peak. Good for experienced crew.

Sunday, 7th September: Sunday morning brings a lovely 6 ft SW swell with a light breeze, making for clean conditions. It’s a nice, manageable size for a solid intermediate, and the energy is still decent (1361). A good, fun session.

Monday, 8th September: The swell drops right off on Monday morning. Tiny 3 ft SW swell and glassy conditions – barely a ripple. Not much going on here.

From Tuesday, 9th September onwards: The second week sees a few more pulses of SW groundswell. Tuesday morning has a 8 ft, 18-second period swell, but it’s got a fresh cross-off wind that might put a bit of a bump on it. Wednesday the 9th is a solid call with a 8 ft SSW groundswell (3416 energy) and a light offshore wind – that’s a clean, powerful option for the experienced surfer. The middle of the week (10th and 11th) looks cleaner with decent 7 ft+ SW swell, but the wind is a bit more variable. It’s a promising run, but the Thursday 5th afternoon is the undeniable king of this forecast.

So, to sum it up: the big highlight is Thursday 5th September afternoon – massive, clean, heavy swell. After that, the 6th, 7th, and 9th have some good, clean waves for the capable crew. The rest of the time is a mix of small or messy surf.

Stay safe out there, watch the sets.

Rusty.
