Avalon Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.

We’re gonna see some surf come through, but it’s gonna take its time gettin’ here. The spot on the radar for this whole stretch is Avalon Point.

Things are quiet right now and will stay that way for a few days. The first proper chance of a wave comes in on Monday morning the 27th with a 8ft swell from the WSW, but the wind is a bit of a cross-off, making it just okay. The surge of energy is there, with a moderate kick of wave energy (1548). Water temp is sittin’ at about 66°, which is totally average for this time of year, so don’t even think about needin’ a thick wetsuit.

Tuesday morning the 28th is where we start to see some shine. We get a clean 6ft swell from the WSW with a true offshore breeze (ESE) and the period stretches to 14 seconds – that’s some proper groundswell energy. The wave energy is moderate (1189) but the quality will be there. That long period will make it wall up nicely on this point, so expect some real nice lines.

Wednesday afternoon the 29th is another small, clean window. A little 5ft swell with the wind swingin’ offshore (NE) and a *very long* 17-second period. This is the kind of pulse that loves a point break like Avalon, givin' you those long, walled-up rides. The energy is moderate (1112), so don’t expect a monster, but the shape and glassy conditions will be the standout.

Now, lookin' further out, there’s a big pulse of west swell that ramps up in August. Friday the 2nd of August early morning is a real head-turner. We’re lookin’ at a clean 7ft WSW swell, 14-second period, and a light offshore (ESE) breeze. The wave energy is moderate (1826) but the conditions line up. This one is for the experienced crew – that 7ft on a point with a good period is a proper step-up day.

Then, Tuesday morning the 6th of August is a *real* gem. 5ft swell, 16-second period, and glassy. Zero wind. The water will be like glass. The combined wave energy is moderate (1359), but the lack of any wind is the sellin’ point here. This is a rare one where you can just sit out there and wait for those long-period sets to roll in.

The end of the forecast window gets a bit grumpy. Around the 8th, the swell jumps to 20ft and 25ft with choppy sideshore winds. Those are expert-only conditions, or maybe better suited to the kite crew, as it’s gonna be a washing machine with all that wind and strong wave energy (26411). I’d steer clear of the water on the 9th unless you’re in a boat.

So, the standout for the clean, quality sessions are Tuesday morning the 28th for the cleanoffshore flow, and Tuesday the 6th of August for that rare glassy, long-period perfection. The 2nd of August is the pick for the bigger, more experienced session.

Stay wet, stay salty.

Rusty.
