The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Avalon Point.
There’s some proper size coming, but you’ve got to pick your moments. For the next few days, there’s a lot of wind and messy conditions to wade through before we get to the good stuff. The first real standout is Tuesday the 1st of September. It won’t be the biggest, with a 7 ft swell out of the WSW, but the wind is light and clean, so it’ll be smooth. The water’s sitting at 66°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The absolute highlight though is way out there on Monday the 7th of September. We’re looking at a colossal 16 ft swell from the WSW, packing some serious grunt – the combined energy is massive at 17,696. The wind is moderate and cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean, but this is strictly for the experts. The period is a very long 19 seconds, so at a point, the waves will have that heavy, lined-up feel. The crowds can be an issue there often, but on a day like this, the crowd will probably be thin on the ground. It is a point break, so that long-period energy will wrap in nicely.
Before that, there are a few smaller clean windows. Saturday the 5th of September has a modest 6 ft swell with light cross-offshore breezes – a good one for a more relaxed session. And Thursday the 10th of September looks promising, with a clean 8 ft swell from the WSW and a long period of 19 seconds again, giving it some shape and power.
The first week is a bit of a write-off, with strong winds and lumpy conditions through the 27th, 28th, and 31st of August. The swell is too blown out. After Tuesday the 1st, things get messy again on the 2nd and 3rd, with onshore winds creating poor surf.
So, all in all, it’s a tale of three swells: a solid expert-only bomb on the 7th, a decent late-season swell on the 10th, and a few smaller tidy windows in between.

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.
