The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Looking at the next couple of weeks, Point Roadnight is your only option and it’s a bit of a mixed bag. It’s a point break that rarely breaks, so this whole run is something special to keep an eye on. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is about what you’d expect for this time of year.

First real sign of life kicks off on Wednesday the 29th of July morning. A solid 6ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period is running, and we’ve got strong offshore wind from the SW at 25 mph. The wave energy is strong (2279), but the conditions are a bit raw – it’s clean, but that offshore is so strong it’ll be hard to paddle into. Things get much better Wednesday afternoon. The swell jumps to a meaty 13ft from the SW, 14-second period, and the fresh offshore breeze from the SW at 19 mph will have it clean and lined up. Wave energy is very powerful (9125). This is the standout – a point break with this much juice and clean offshore wind is a proper session for experienced surfers only. It will be too big for beginners.

Thursday the 30th is still worth a paddle. Morning has a 6ft SSW swell, 13-second period, with a light cross-offshore from the WNW at 9 mph keeping the face tidy (wave energy 952). Thursday afternoon pushes 8ft from the SW at 13 seconds, and a moderate offshore from the WSW at 12 mph will have it clean. Energy is strong (2384). Good for experienced surfers. Friday the 31st calms down a bit with 3ft SSW swell, 12-second period, and light cross-offshore winds – clean but much smaller.

The first week of August looks less exciting. You’ve got small to moderate swells but a lot of onshore or cross-shore wind, and the wave energy dips. Monday the 3rd of August afternoon throws up a 10ft WSW swell with a 14-second period and clean cross-offshore wind from the WNW at 16 mph – strong energy (4470) and clean, but it’s a few days out so keep an eye on it.

After that, the pattern gets pretty ordinary with small surf and mostly poor wind conditions right through to the second week. There’s a late hopeful sign on Monday the 10th of August afternoon with a 3ft SW swell, 15-second period, and moderate offshore wind from the SW at 12 mph. That’s clean and surfable. Tuesday the 11th of August has a similar vibe with a moderate offshore and clean 4ft SW swell.

Overall, not a lot of consistent action, but when it comes together it’ll be worth it. Stay safe out there.

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.
