Avalon Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

The 16-day window is a real mixed bag at Avalon Point. There’s a bit of a slow start, but the end of the first week and the start of the second week have some serious potential. The water temperature is sitting at about 65°F, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.

The first few days are a bit of a write-off honestly. Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th have some size, but the wind is messing things up. Thursday morning has a 8ft swell from the WSW with a 16-second period, but it’s a cross-off breeze and the whole thing is marginal. The combined energy is a whopping 3531, but it’s not doing us any favours. Friday afternoon on the 28th is a step up – the wind swings offshore, swell drops to 5ft from the WSW, period 12 seconds, and energy at 710. It’s a clean, fun size, but nothing to write home about.

Now, Saturday the 29th afternoon is where it starts to get interesting. The swell picks up to 6ft from the WSW, period jumps to 19 seconds, and the energy is 1947. The wind is offshore from the ESE, making for clean, lined-up waves. This is a standout for experienced surfers – the long period will give the point some real shape, and the offshore wind will keep it glassy. The morning is a bit smaller at 3ft, but still clean.

Sunday the 30th morning is the real standout of the first week. You’ve got a 7ft swell from the WSW, a very long 18-second period, and a massive energy of 2930. The wind is light from the NE, cross-off, and it’s clean. This is a proper groundswell – the point will handle the period well, and the size is in that sweet spot for experienced surfers. It’s going to be a session.

After that, things get messy. Monday the 31st sees onshore winds, and the surf quality drops out. There’s a big gap of poor conditions from Monday afternoon all the way through to Friday the 4th of September. The wind is howling onshore, and the swell is either too big or just wind-chopped. It’s not worth paddling out.

Then, hold onto your boards. Saturday the 5th of September morning is a monster. A 13ft swell from the WSW, with a 14-second period, and the combined energy is an insane 13572. The wind is offshore from the SE, and it’s clean. This is for experts only – it’s huge, powerful, and the point will be firing. If you’ve got the balls, this is the session of the forecast period.

The following week has some moments, but nothing compares to that Saturday. Sunday the 6th onwards is onshore and messy, with a few marginal windows on the 10th of September, where you get a 8-8ft swell from the WSW, 16-second period, and light cross-on winds. It’s not the best, but if you’re desperate, it’s rideable.

Rusty.
