Avalon Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Avalon Point. This is a fairly consistent point break, and we’ve got a solid run of swell on the horizon, but you’ve gotta pick your moments.

The week kicks off with a bit of a messy start. Thursday (9th July) is a write-off – cross-shore winds and a cross-chop, with a 7ft W swell but the wind is all over it. Combined wave energy is high (1907), but it’s not organised. By Friday morning (10th July), things start cleaning up. A light SSE breeze gives us cross-off wind, and the swell drops to 5ft from the WSW, period at 13 seconds. The energy is moderate (703) but the conditions are clean. Saturday morning (11th July) is even better for the smaller-wave crew – 4ft, pure offshore wind from the ESE, clean as a whistle. Not a lot of power (484), but if you’ve got a longboard, it’s a fun morning.

Now, Sunday morning (12th July) is where it gets interesting. The swell picks up to 6ft from the WSW with a 15-second period. That’s a long-period groundswell, and combined energy is up to 1821. The wind is a light SE cross-off, so it’s glassy. This is a standout for experienced surfers – the point will handle that long period beautifully, giving you long, peeling lines. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no drama there.

The run continues into Monday (13th July) and Tuesday (14th July). Monday morning is the pick of the early week: 7ft, 17-second period, pure offshore SE wind, energy at 2406. That’s serious groundswell, and Avalon Point is the right setup for it. Expect big, clean, powerful waves. This is expert territory at that size. Tuesday is similar, with 7ft and a 15-second period, clean cross-off winds.

We hit a bit of a lull on Wednesday (15th July) and Thursday (16th July) – the wind swings onshore and the quality drops. Friday (17th July) is a write-off with strong winds and light rain. Saturday (18th July) is a weird one: the swell surges to 10ft, but the period is a short, choppy 8 seconds, so it’s just a lumpy mess. Not really one for the paddle.

Now, the big one. Sunday morning (19th July). This is the true standout of the entire 16-day window. A massive 15ft swell from the WSW, with a 16-second period. The combined energy is a staggering 8988. Wind is a gentle offshore from the ESE. This is exceptional, dangerous, expert-only territory. The point will hold it, but you’d better know what you’re doing. It’s still a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it, but the potential is huge.

After that, Monday (20th July) and Tuesday (21st July) drop back to a more manageable 7-8ft, with clean conditions. The end of the run on Wednesday (22nd July) gets choppy again, but then Thursday (23rd July) and Friday (24th July) finish with a nice clean 6ft and 3ft swell respectively, perfect for a relaxing session.

Rusty.
