The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about your local surf at Avalon Point. It’s a point break that’s fairly exposed to a WSW swell, and it’s a beginner-friendly spot that breaks fairly consistently. The water temperature is about 65°, which is pretty normal for this time of year – nothing weird going on there.
The first real chance to get in the water comes on Saturday the 29th of August, in the afternoon. We’ve got a 6 ft swell coming from the WSW with a juicy 19-second period, which is a long-period groundswell packing some serious energy. The combined energy reading is 1947, so there’s a moderate amount of power in the water. The wind is a light SE breeze at 12 mph, but it’s blowing offshore, which is a big deal for a point break – it’ll keep the waves clean and lined up. This is a solid session for experienced surfers, but beginners might find the 6 ft a bit of a handful.
Sunday morning the 30th looks marginal. The swell jumps up to 7 ft, but the wind is from the NNE at 3 mph, which is a cross-shore. It’s light, so you might get a few clean ones, but there’s a question mark over the tide.
Monday the 31st is a write-off. The wind is onshore and picking up, pushing the surf into messy territory.
Tuesday the 1st of September is a bit of a tease. Swell is still 7 ft from the WSW, period dropping to 15 seconds, but the wind is a light cross-shore in the morning and a gentle cross-shore in the afternoon. It’s not terrible, but it’s not firing either.
The whole first week peters out after that. There’s a gap from Wednesday the 2nd right through to the end of the first week where the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the surf gets choppy and blown out. Thursday the 3rd of September sees the swell building to 8 ft, but with a strong WNW wind at 22 mph, it’s a mess.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The second week of the forecast opens up with a real standout on Thursday the 10th of September. The swell is 12 ft from the WSW, with a 18-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 7404 – that’s some serious power. The wind is from the ESE at 12 mph, blowing offshore and clean. This is what you’re waiting for. It’s big, though – 12 ft is for experts only. The waves will be big, powerful, and clean. This is the best session on offer.
Friday the 11th of September is also a good call. The swell drops to 8 ft, still from the WSW, with a 15-second period. The wind is from the NE, a cross-offshore, and it’s clean. This is a solid session for experienced surfers, and the 8 ft is a bit more manageable than the day before.
The final stretch of the forecast, from the 12th of September onwards, gets messy again. The wind picks up, the swell gets big and lumpy, and the conditions are poor. There’s a huge spike on Sunday the 13th of September with a 13 ft swell from the W and a 20-second period, but the wind is onshore and it’s a chaotic mess.
So, the standout is Thursday the 10th of September. Big, clean, and powerful. If you’re an expert, that’s your day.

Information about the Avalon Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Avalon Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Avalon Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Avalon Point 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 (Avalon Point) 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 Avalon Point 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.
