Point Roadnight

Point Roadnight is a sand-bottomed right-hand point break near Anglesea/Qeenscliff. It tends to offer long, mellow rides (often around the 100 m mark) when the swell wraps the point, making it a go-to spot for relaxed longboarding sessions. The surf is described as fairly exposed, but the break can be relatively sheltered compared with more open ocean beaches. Offshore conditions from the west (and nearby westerly/northwesterly winds) are favored for surfing quality. The working swell window is generally south to south-southeast (with reports also referencing south/SW as the effective direction) and typical effective wave sizes range from small to about 1–2.5 m. Best experience is commonly associated with low to mid tide, particularly when paired with the correct swell angle and west winds. In some guidance, winter is considered the optimum time of year; other notes highlight strong timing in late spring to summer for the beach and water temps. Safety-wise, the main hazards are rocks around the point and the possibility of rip currents (especially when swell increases). Lifeguard coverage is inconsistent across guidance (seasonal reporting, and separate notes indicating no Surf Life Saving Australia services for the beach), so you should treat it as limited rescue access and plan conservatively.
