The Lowdown

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

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, not much to get excited about for the first few days. The swell is small, and the conditions are just ordinary. Monday the 24th is a write-off, and Tuesday the 25th doesn’t look much better, with a bit of rain and only marginal surf. It’s a real shame, because the water temp is sitting at a pretty normal 57°F, so it’s not a bad time of year to be out there.

Wednesday the 26th morning is the first time we see a genuine glimmer of hope. The wind is offshore and clean, with a combined swell energy of 370 (moderate). The swell is a touch small at 3ft from the SSW, but it’s clean and the sets should be rideable. The afternoon gets a bit blown out with a cross-off breeze, but it’s still alright.

The real standout window looks like it’s going to be Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th. Friday afternoon is a beauty: glassy conditions, 4ft of SW groundswell with a period of 16 seconds, and the combined energy is 698 (moderate). The wave quality is good, and the wind is dead calm. Saturday morning is also glassy, with a 3ft SW swell and a period of 14 seconds. The energy is weaker at 299 (low), but for a clean, small wave session, you can’t complain. Sunday the 30th afternoon is also a cracker, with 4ft of SSW groundswell at 16 seconds and a clean cross-off breeze. The combined energy jumps to 852 (moderate), and it’s a proper clean wave.

Now, if you’re an experienced surfer, keep your eyes on Monday the 31st of August. That’s a big one. The morning sees 6ft of SW groundswell, glassy conditions, and a massive combined energy of 3007 (very strong). That’s a lot of power. The afternoon is just as good, with the same 6ft swell and calm, glassy conditions. The energy is still 1885 (strong). This is a solid groundswell with a period of 19 seconds, so it’s a very long period swell. At a point break like Point Roadnight, that’s gold. It’ll be lining up nicely. But be warned, it’s only for experienced surfers at that size. The crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so expect a few others to have the same idea.

The first week of September looks a bit more mixed. The 1st and 2nd have some clean surf with moderate energy, but the wind picks up. Thursday the 3rd is a write-off with strong winds and poor conditions. Friday the 4th of September morning has a serious 10ft swell from the WSW, but the energy is 3382 (very strong). That’s big, powerful, and only for experts. The wind is cross-off, so it’s clean, but paddling in will be a battle. The afternoon drops to a more manageable 5ft from the SSW.

The following weekend, the 6th and 7th, is a mess. Sunday the 6th has a 10ft swell with a cross-shore wind and lumpy chop. Monday the 7th is a real stinker with a near gale offshore wind and 6ft swell. The afternoon has a massive 15ft swell from the SW, with a combined energy of 13160 (very strong). That’s an absolute monster. The wind is strong offshore, but at that size, it’s a paddle-out mission only for the crazies.

Tuesday the 8th of September cleans up a bit, with a 10ft SW groundswell and a fresh cross-off breeze. The energy is 5181 (very strong). It’s still big and powerful, and the long period of 18 seconds means it’s a proper groundswell that will be walling up. It’s a solid day for the big-wave crew.

Overall, the best on offer for the average surfer is the Friday the 28th to Sunday the 30th of August window. For the experienced, Monday the 31st of August is the clear standout. The long-range stuff on the 4th and 8th of September is promising, but it’s less certain until we get closer.

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. 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.
