Avalon Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Avalon Point is serving up over the next couple of weeks.

This is going to be a run of serious, high-energy groundswell, but you’ll have to pick your moments. The wind is the wild card, and a lot of these days have a cross-shore or cross-onshore bite that’ll mess with the surface. The water temperature is sitting at 63°, which is about normal for the time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real standout for me is Monday the 14th of September. That morning is looking like a proper session. We’ve got a solid 8ft swell rolling in from the WSW with a clean 14-second period, meaning good energy and shape. The wind is a light offshore from the SE at 6 mph, so the wave faces should be glassy. The combined swell energy is cranking at 2078 – that’s a serious push of water. This one is for experienced surfers though, as the height is over 8ft. The following afternoon, Tuesday the 15th, is also a beauty for the experienced crew with 6ft and a gentle offshore from the East at 9 mph, keeping things clean.

Now, for a true potential standout, cast your eyes to Saturday the 20th. The morning is absolute magic on paper – 8ft of WSW swell, a period of 14 seconds, combined energy at 2707, and the wind is *glassy*. That’s right, a flat calm sea. That’s as good as it gets for a point break. Again, this is expert territory at that size, and remember, with a period like that, it will be a powerful groundswell. A couple of days later, on Tuesday the 22nd, we get another solid morning with 6ft and a light offshore from the ENE and clean conditions, another score for those who can handle it.

Later in the run, Friday the 25th of September looks promising in the morning with 8ft and a clean, cross-offshore wind. It’s at the tail end of the forecast, so keep an eye on it, but the numbers are all there.

There are a few days where the swell gets too big and the wind is strong, like on the 19th of September with a massive 13ft swell. That setup is more for the kite-surfing crew than paddle surfing, as the quality is expected to be poor with that strong wind.

Overall, we’ve got some heavy, clean days coming for the experts. Don’t go out of your depth, but if you know what you’re doing, the 14th, 15th, 20th, and 22nd are your tickets.

Rusty.
