The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming our way for Point Roadnight. It's gonna be a bit of a slow burn, so don't go getting too excited just yet.
For the next few days, it's pretty grim. We've got a weak, long-period SW groundswell coming in, but the wind is all wrong – cross-on and fresh, making a mess of things. The water temp is sitting at about 56°, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year. The combined energy is weak (421), and honestly, it's just not worth paddling out for. We've got a gap of poor conditions stretching from Tuesday the 18th right through to Thursday the 20th.
Things start to turn around on Friday the 21st. The wind swings cross-off and the swell cleans up, but it's still small, around 3ft from the SW. The energy picks up to moderate (487), and it's labeled as "expect good surf conditions". It's marginal but the cleanest it's been. Saturday the 22nd is where it gets interesting. We see a jump in size to 5ft from the SW with a period of 16 seconds, a proper groundswell. The energy is strong (1403) and the wind goes offshore on Saturday afternoon. This is a standout for experienced surfers, as that size and a long period at a point break should set up some nice lines. Sunday the 23rd holds similar quality with 5ft SW swell and light winds, excellent for experienced surfers again. The 25th of August also shows a promising morning with a moderate offshore wind and 5ft SW swell (700 energy), offering "very good surf conditions".
Looking further out, the end of the month shows potential. Monday the 31st of August has a moderate offshore wind and clean 3ft SW swell (711 energy), "expect very good surf conditions". And the 1st of September starts with gentle offshore winds and 2ft SW swell. It's a bit smaller, but clean.
The real standout in the whole window is Saturday the 22nd of August afternoon. That 5ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period and clean offshore wind at Point Roadnight is going to be the pick of the bunch for those who can handle it. It's a point break that rarely breaks, so if it lines up, it'll be a special session, but expect a few others to have the same idea.
Rusty, signing off.
