Avalon Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's break it down.

We've got a bit of a waiting game on our hands. The first real surf that’s worth paddling out for hits on Monday the 14th. Before that, Sunday the 13th is a write-off – messy onshore winds and a poor call. So, you’ve got a quiet start, but it doesn't stay quiet for long.

The standout session, and really the best of the whole 16-day window, is Tuesday the 15th. Avalon Point is on point. We're looking at solid 7 ft of WSW swell, but it's the conditions that seal the deal. Clean, glassy mornings to start, and on Tuesday we get gentle, clean offshore winds from the ESE. The energy is punchy (1797 combined energy) but manageable, and these long-period 14-second lines will set up beautifully along the point. It’s a prime window for experienced surfers, but there’s plenty of power to go around.

After Tuesday, Wednesday the 16th drops right off. The swell fades to 4 ft-4 ft with better wind, but the energy is weak (606). It’s a glass-off in the arvo, so if you’re on a longboard, you might find a fun little wave, but it’s not a standout.

Then we hit a proper rough patch. From Thursday the 17th all the way through to Saturday the 20th, the wind turns ugly – strong cross-onshore and lumpy. Swell sticks around but it’s messy, and the conditions are brutal. Not worth a look for most.

We get a glimmer of hope on Monday the 21st. The morning session is glassy with a strong 7 ft, 16-second groundswell (very long period). The energy is pumping (2170), and it’s glassy. This is an unreal setup for the point. Another real standout, but keep in mind those long-period swells can make the point throw wide, open faces. Perfect for a board with some rail.

Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd stay solid (6-8 ft) but the wind goes cross-shore, making things a bit wonky. The energy is still big, especially Wednesday (3979 combined energy), but the cross-chop will spoil it.

Then we get another gem on Thursday the 24th morning. Glassy again, clean 6 ft, 16-second swell. That morning slot is pure gold.

Into the second week, the big numbers keep coming. Friday the 25th brings a 12 ft morning swell, but the wind is cross-off. The afternoon is the real deal – 10 ft with clean offshore winds from the SE. This is big, powerful surf (3443 energy). This is expert territory only. For the crew who can handle it, that Friday afternoon is an all-timer.

The following week stays active. Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th have good wind (offshore and cross-off), with solid 8 ft to 7 ft swell. The conditions are clean, but the energy is still high. Not a standout like Tuesday the 15th or Friday the 25th, but solid sessions nonetheless.

By Monday the 28th, a fresh cross-onshore kills the quality again, and the swell drops out.

Bottom line: Get in the water on Tuesday the 15th and Monday the 21st morning for clean, classic conditions. And if you're an experienced charger, don’t miss Friday the 25th afternoon. The rest is a mix of good, bad, and ugly – but those few days are pure gold.

Stay stoked,
Rusty
