Avalon Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Avalon Point has got cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks.

We've got a solid run of swell on the way, but it's a bit of a mixed bag with the wind. The first few days are gonna be for the experienced crew only, with some proper sized, long-period groundswell. The water temp is sittin' right around average for this time of year at 64°, so nothing wild there.

It all kicks off on Sunday the 6th. The swell is already up to 8ft from the WSW, with a 13-second period and a massive energy reading (2616). Problem is, it's blowin' a fresh 19 mph SE offshore. That'll clean it up, but it's gonna be a bit of a handful. The surf quality is rated as marginal, so don't expect perfection.

Monday the 7th is where the first real standout sits. The Monday morning session is looking magic. You've got the same 8ft WSW swell, but the period has jumped to a very long 17 seconds, and the energy is pumping (3123). The wind is a gentle 9 mph SE offshore, makin' for glassy conditions. This is proper groundswell, and for a point break like Avalon Point, that's a dream. The conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers, and I'd agree. If you've got the skills, this is the session to be in. The afternoon drops off a little as the wind picks up and goes cross-offshore.

Tuesday the 8th stays solid with 8ft WSW swell and a 17-second period in the morning (3636 energy). The wind is a fresh 19 mph ESE offshore again. It's clean, but that's a lot of wind on a big swell. Definitely expert territory. Wednesday the 9th is similar, but the morning has a cross-offshore wind. The standout here is the Wednesday afternoon: the swell drops slightly to 6ft from the WSW with a 15-second period (1663 energy), and the wind goes light offshore from the east. It's described as excellent for experienced surfers again, and with lighter winds, it might be a touch more manageable.

Thursday the 10th sees the swell start to back off. It's still clean, with a gentle breeze, but the size drops to 4-4ft. The morning session is rated marginal, but the afternoon has an "expect very good surf conditions" tag, so it could be a nice, easy day for a wider range of surfers.

Now, we hit a rough patch from Friday the 11th all the way through to Saturday the 13th. The wind goes cross-onshore or onshore, and the quality just tanks. There's still swell in the water, but it's gonna be choppy and junky. This is more of a kite-surfing window than a paddle-surfing one.

Things start to look up again on Sunday the 13th afternoon. The wind goes light and cross-shore, and the swell is 8ft from the WSW. It's rated as marginal, but it's a step in the right direction.

Then we get the absolute gem of the entire forecast. Monday the 14th, first light. The wind is dead calm. Glassy as a mirror. You've got a 8ft WSW swell with a 14-second period (2027 energy). The conditions are described as "excellent for experienced surfers." This is the one. Get up early, paddle out, and you'll be rewarded with some of the cleanest waves of the run. Tuesday the 15th morning is also looking fantastic, with another glassy session and a smaller 6ft swell. Perfect for a wider range of abilities.

The rest of the second week is a bit of a letdown. From Wednesday the 16th onwards, the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, and while there's still plenty of swell (especially a massive pulse of 10ft+ on the 20th and 21st), the conditions are rated as poor. That big 12ft WSW groundswell on Monday the 21st (8167 energy!) is gonna be a sight to see, but with a fresh cross-onshore wind, it's gonna be a messy, dangerous beast. Leave that one for the tow crew and the kamikazes.

So, to wrap it up: your standout sessions are Monday the 7th morning and Monday the 14th morning for the big, clean groundswell. If you want something a bit more mellow, Tuesday the 15th morning looks glassy and fun. The rest is a waiting game or a windy mess.

Rusty.
