The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on the table for Point Roadnight over the next couple of weeks. This is a point break that’s rated for intermediates, but you need to know it’s a spot that *rarely breaks*, so when it does, you’ve gotta be on it.
We kick off Sunday the 30th of August with some solid, clean surf. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, nothing unusual there. The swell is coming in at a consistent 5ft to 5ft from the SSW, with a period around 13 to 14 seconds – that’s a nice long groundswell, plenty of energy. The wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping things clean. The combined energy is in the moderate range (795), but it feels punchy for the size. This is a good, solid option.
Monday the 31st of August is where it starts to get really interesting. Morning has glassy conditions – absolute magic – with a 5ft SW swell at 14 seconds. The wind is a whisper from the NNW. By the afternoon, the period stretches to 15 seconds and the combined energy jumps to 1161. The waves will be lined up, long, and clean. This is the standout of the whole run. Get on it.
Tuesday the 1st of September is a write-off. Strong cross-winds at 19 mph mess everything up, dropping the swell to 4ft. Poor conditions.
Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd of September mornings are marginal, with moderate cross-off winds and a building swell. Thursday afternoon on the 3rd of September is something else – a 13ft SW swell at 14 seconds, with offshore wind and an energy reading of 8070. That’s strong wave energy, but 13ft is expert territory only. This is a serious, powerful wave for those who know what they’re doing.
Friday the 4th of September drops off again with cross-shore winds and lumpy conditions. The swell is still 6ft to 7ft, but the quality is gone. Saturday the 5th of September has strong offshore wind and a 10ft SW swell in the afternoon, but the period drops to 11 seconds and the energy is still high at 3509 – more of a wind-affected, fat wave.
Sunday the 6th of September is back to cleaner, smaller conditions, but nothing special. The following week from the 7th onwards is a mixed bag with a lot of onshore and cross-shore wind, and the swell drops significantly. The 8th and 9th of September have another big pulse – 10ft to 12ft SW swell with strong energy (up to 10653), but the wind is a strong cross-off, making it messy and only for experts. There’s a decent window on Thursday the 10th of September afternoon with a 8ft SW swell and offshore wind, good for experienced surfers.
After that, the second week is quieter. The 12th of September has a glassy morning with a 4ft SW swell and good energy, but the 13th and 14th are mostly onshore and poor.
So, the absolute pick is Monday the 31st of August with those glassy conditions and a long-period groundswell. The other big one is Thursday the 3rd of September afternoon for the experts. Don’t sleep on the 10th of September afternoon either.
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.
Point Roadnight is 36 km (22 miles) from the city of Geelong. If you plan a holiday in Torquay, look for hotels and other accommodation in Geelong. Geelong has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
