The Lowdown
G'day, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Avalon Point. We’ve got a wild ride ahead – a lot of raw size and power, but the wind is going to be a constant battle. This is a classic point break, and it’s looking for a clean WSW swell to really fire. The water temp is sitting at 66°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first bit of the run is a bit of a write-off. Wednesday afternoon (5th of August) we’ve got a solid 10 ft WSW swell, with a very long period of 16 seconds, and the energy is charging at 4543 – that’s proper strong. But the wind is a light cross-on, so it’s a bit messy. It’s a marginal call at best.
Thursday and Friday (6th & 7th) are a total loss. We’re looking at 8 ft to 10 ft WSW swell, but with onshore winds from the NW and WNW hitting 16 mph, and then 25 mph on Friday afternoon. It’s just blown out. Not worth paddling out.
The weekend proper is a monster, but it’s a total mess. Saturday (8th) sees a 16 ft WSW swell early, with a massive energy reading of 9274, and it builds to 15 ft with a 17-second period and energy over 12000 by the afternoon. But with strong cross-shore winds from the SW and SSW at 25-28 mph, it’s just a brutal, choppy cauldron. This is big wave territory, and with the wind, it’s more of a foil or kite setup than a surfable day.
The real standout, the one you want to circle, is Tuesday morning, the 11th of August. We’ve got a solid 15 ft WSW swell, with a 17-second period and energy at 11499. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the S at 16 mph, and the report says it’s clean. This is a big, powerful, long-period groundswell at a point break, which is a dream combination. It’s big – definitely for experienced surfers only – but the shape should be incredible. The crowds are often here, so expect company.
Another promising morning is Wednesday the 12th of August. The swell drops to 8 ft WSW, still with a 16-second period, and the wind is glassy from the E at 3 mph. This is a magic window for the intermediate crew. The water is clean, the waves will have good shape, and the energy is still moderate at 3267. It’s a smaller, more user-friendly session.
Looking further ahead, there’s a bit of a gap. The 14th and 15th of August are average with messy onshore winds. Then we get another big pulse on Monday the 17th of August. A 15 ft swell from the W with an 18-second period and energy at 12046. The wind is a gentle cross-on from the NW at 9 mph, which is manageable, but it’s a bit onshore. It’s a marginal call, but it’s big and powerful.
The last decent window is on Thursday the 20th of August. A 10 ft to 12 ft WSW swell, with a clean cross-offshore wind from the ENE in the morning, and energy at 4427. It’s a solid option for the end of the run.
Overall, the pick of the entire 16 days is without a doubt Tuesday the 11th of August. That’s the one to plan for. The 12th of August is a great second option for a smaller, cleaner session. The rest is a lot of size and wind to battle through.
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.
Avalon Point is 11 km (7 miles) from Mandurah. If you plan a holiday in Perth City Coast, look for hotels and other accommodation in Mandurah. Mandurah has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
