The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Avalon Point. We’ve got a solid run of swell coming through the back half of August and into the first week of September, but the wind is going to be the main character in this story. It’s a point break set-up, and it’s a fairly consistent spot, but we’ve got to pick the right windows.

The standout here is Wednesday afternoon, the 26th of August. The water’s sitting at 65°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing weird. The real story is that huge, 12-foot W swell with a period of 18 seconds. That’s a very long-period groundswell, and at a point break like this, it’s going to peel beautifully. The double bonus is the glassy, near-silent conditions with a light NE wind at just 3 mph. The combined energy is a massive 6689, which is a powerful amount of water moving. This is for expert surfers only – it’s big, powerful, and lined up. If you’re up for it, this is the session.

Thursday morning, the 27th, is a different story. The swell drops a bit to 8 feet, but the wind swings to a strong 25 mph southerly, so it’s cross-off but rough. The energy’s still strong at 3531, but the conditions are marginal. That trend continues through the rest of the week, with swell easing and the wind staying tricky.

We get a nice little uptick on Saturday afternoon, the 29th of August. The swell is 6 feet from the WSW, with a 19-second period, which is still a healthy, long-period groundswell. The wind is a gentle offshore breeze from the ESE at 9 mph, and the energy is a solid 2024. This is excellent for experienced surfers – clean, well-shaped waves.

Sunday morning, the 30th of August, is also good. You’ve got 7 feet of swell from the WSW, 18-second period, light NE wind at 6 mph, and energy at 2398. It’s cross-off, but it’s clean. The wind swings onshore in the afternoon, so it’s a morning mission.

The following week, from the 31st through to the 10th of September, the outlook gets frustrating. There’s a persistent run of cross-onshore and onshore wind, with the swell hanging around the 5 to 8-foot range. The wind state is often “moderate cross-onshore and choppy” or worse. The energy values are still moderate to strong, but the quality just isn’t there for paddle surfing. By the 8th and 9th, the wind is up to 22 mph, and the conditions are poor. The 10th of September, with a 34 mph WNW wind, is a write-off. This stretch looks more interesting for the kite-surfing crew than for us on a regular board.

The best bet for the second week is probably the Saturday morning of the 5th of September, with 8 feet of swell and a gentle cross-shore breeze, but it’s still a marginal call. The 6th of September, Sunday morning, might be worth a look with 7 feet of swell and a light cross-shore, but it’s not a standout.

So, to wrap it up: mark your calendar for Wednesday the 26th. That’s the big one. Saturday the 29th is your next best shot. After that, it’s a waiting game for the wind to play ball. Stay tuned.

Rusty.

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.
