The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Avalon Point over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, this isn't a weekend to get excited about. The first few days are pretty grim. We’ve got a big, messy pulse of swell coming in on Saturday the 18th with a 13ft swell from the west, but it’s getting hammered by a strong cross-onshore wind. The water is sitting at 66°, which is pretty standard for this time of year, but the conditions are just blown out. That massive wave energy (6481) is all for nothing.
It’s a slow start, but the wait is worth it. Monday the 20th morning is where it all turns around. A clean 5ft swell from the WSW, with a solid 11-second period, and the wind is glassy. The wave energy is moderate (721), but the conditions are clean. That’s your first real window.
Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd keep that run going. Both mornings offer clean, 5ft to 6ft swells from the SW and WSW, with light cross-offshore winds. The wave energy picks up a bit on Tuesday afternoon (1111) and Wednesday afternoon (1230), still holding clean. This is a solid stretch of fun, user-friendly waves.
Thursday the 23rd is smaller, dropping to 4ft by the afternoon, but still clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. Good for a longboard or a fun shortboard session. Then things get messy again from Friday the 24th through the weekend, with strong onshore winds and poor conditions. The 26th sees a very long-period 17-second swell, but it’s accompanied by a 25 mph onshore wind, just a total mess.
Now, here’s the standout. The real gold is at the very end of the window. Friday the 31st of July is looking absolutely firing. A 10ft west swell with a 17-second period, light offshore winds, and clean conditions. The wave energy is extremely strong (5963). This is a big, powerful groundswell. For a point break like Avalon Point, that’s a dream setup. The direction is close to the optimum, and the winds are textbook. It’s a session for experienced surfers only at that size, but it’s the best on offer.
That carries into Saturday the 1st of August, with another 12ft pulse from the WSW, though the wind shifts a little onshore in the afternoon. Still, the morning is clean and a standout for the experts. The following Sunday the 2nd of August also has a solid 8ft swell with glassy conditions in the afternoon, wrapping up the forecast on a high note.
So, the long story short: the first few days are a write-off. Monday the 20th through Thursday the 23rd is your pick for smaller, clean waves. But if you’ve got the skills and the patience, the last few days of July and the start of August are the real deal. Don’t sleep on the 31st.
Rusty.

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.
Avalon Point is 11 km (7 miles) from Mandurah. If you plan a holiday in Perth City Coast, look for hotels and other accommodation in Mandurah. Mandurah has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
