The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Avalon Point over the next couple of weeks. This point break is a consistent performer, especially when that optimum swell direction from the WSW lines up. It’s a fairly exposed spot, so it grabs a good chunk of energy. Water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start to the week. Sunday the 23rd is a bit of a mixed bag. The morning session is actually looking pretty tidy. We’ve got a clean 4.6ft WSW swell, with a light cross-off breeze from the S at 10 km/h. It’s clean, and the combined energy is a solid 1031 (moderate energy). Not a standout, but a nice warm-up.
Monday the 24th is where things start to get interesting. The morning is a real gem. We’ve got a 6.6ft WSW swell, and the wind is going glassy from the ESE at just 5 km/h. That’s a huge positive – you’ll be surfing on glass. The combined energy jumps to 1570 (moderate energy), and the period is a nice 14 seconds (long period groundswell), which will give the point some real shape and power. The bigger sets will have a nice gap between them, making the paddle out easier. This is a genuine standout session. Afternoon turns onshore, but that morning is the one.
Tuesday the 25th is a write-off. Choppy, cross-onshore winds with that NNW flow at 25 km/h. The quality drops right off.
Wednesday the 26th, however, brings some serious size. Wednesday morning is 11.5ft from the W with a massive 19-second period, but it’s cross-on and the combined energy is a beastly 9945 (very strong energy). That’s big, powerful, and a bit raw. The afternoon, though, is exceptional for experts. 13.1ft WSW swell, 18-second period, and cross-off wind from the S at 10 km/h. The energy is still enormous at 9865. This is heavy, clean, and demanding. Definitely not for beginners – the swell is over 8ft, it’s expert territory only.
Thursday the 27th settles a little but stays solid. Sizes drop to 9.8ft and 8.2ft with a long period (16 and 15 seconds). Winds are cross-off from the SSE, but they are fresh (35 km/h) on Thursday morning, which will put a bit of a chop on the face. The afternoon is cleaner but still a bit tricky. Not the best conditions for the size.
Friday the 28th sees the swell dropping back to 5.2-4.9ft. The morning is clean but the wind is a moderate cross-off from the SE. The afternoon swings to a moderate offshore from the SE at 25 km/h. That’s a solid, clean afternoon wave with 666 (moderate energy). Good for a fun session.
Saturday the 29th is another standout. The afternoon brings a 4.9ft WSW swell with a 16-second period and strong offshore E winds at 25 km/h. The combined energy is 1584 (moderate energy), and the wave comment says excellent conditions for experienced surfers. It’s a clean, powerful point wave. The morning is smaller, but still clean.
Sunday the 30th morning is excellent. 7.5ft WSW at 17 seconds, with a light cross-off from the NE at 10 km/h. The energy is 3022 (strong energy). That’s a big, clean, long-period groundswell on a point break. This is prime. Crowds are likely here (listed as ‘often’), so get in early.
Monday the 31st is messy. The wind picks up from the SSW at 25-30 km/h, making things lumpy and cross. The size is still around 6.2ft, but the conditions don’t do it justice.
September starts with a similar pattern. Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd have decent 6.6-7.2ft WSW swells, but the wind is cross-shore. The morning of Wednesday the 2nd is clean with a light cross-off, so that’s your window there.
Thursday the 3rd is another glassy morning. 7.2ft WSW at 14 seconds, with glassy conditions from a light NE at 5 km/h. The combined energy is 1705 (moderate energy). That is a beautiful, clean morning. The point will be a thing of beauty.
After that, the wind turns onshore and

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.
