The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. Let’s dive into what’s on the cards for Avalon Point. There’s a proper run of solid, long-period groundswell from the WSW heading our way, and if you get the wind right, it’ll be magic. The water temp is about average for the season, nothing out of the ordinary.
The first real standout is early Sunday morning, the 30th of August. We’ve got a 7ft swell from the WSW with a very long 18-second period – that’s serious energy, and the combined wave energy is a strong 2678 (moderate to strong). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the ENE, so it’ll be clean. This is for experienced surfers given the size and power; the long period will make for well-shaped lines at the point. Crowds are possible but not overrun.
From Monday the 31st and through the early part of the week, the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore, turning things messy. The swell stays solid, mostly 7ft to 12ft, but with choppy conditions, it’s a poor run for quality waves.
Next clear window is Sunday morning, the 6th of September. Swell drops to 8ft from the WSW, 14-second period – still a solid groundswell. Light cross-offshore wind from the SE gives us clean waves again. Combined energy is 2523 (moderate to strong). A solid option.
Then Tuesday morning, the 8th of September has a smaller 6ft WSW swell with the same clean breeze. A bit more friendly.
But the absolute highlight is Wednesday morning, the 9th of September. Swell drops to a comfortable 5ft from the WSW, 14-second period. The wind is glassy – completely calm – giving us perfect, clean conditions. Combined energy is 858 (moderate). This is the morning for everyone, from beginners to the experienced. Don’t miss it.
Into the second week, another big pulse hits around the 12th to 14th of September with swell up to 12ft, but the wind tends cross-onshore or onshore, keeping it messy. The morning of Monday the 14th of September has a huge 12ft WSW swell with a 16-second period and combined energy of 10040 (very strong), but the cross-onshore breeze from the NW will put some chop on it. Possibly more suited for kites than paddles.
So, bottom line: Sunday the 30th of August and Sunday the 6th of September are your clean, solid bets. But Wednesday the 9th of September is the absolute pick – glassy, clean, and a great size. Set your alarm.
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.
