The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s see what we’ve got cookin’ for Avalon Point.
First up, the water temp is sitting at 66°F, which is bang on average for this time of year. Not a wetsuit-thickener, so you’ll be comfy.
The pattern starts Sunday the 23rd with a solid pulse. Sunday morning at Avalon Point is looking clean with a 5ft WSW swell, a 14-second period, and a light cross-off breeze. The energy is pumping at 1031 (moderate), and the waves are set to be in good shape. It’s a worthy start to the run.
Monday the 24th morning is your first real standout. We’ve got a 7ft WSW swell with a 14-second period. The wind is pure offshore from the east at 5 km/h (3 mph), making for glassy, clean lines. The energy jumps to 1570 (moderate), and this is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The point will handle that long period well, offering up some nice, peelable walls. Expect crowds to be possible here, as it’s often a local hangout.
Tuesday the 25th is a write-off with strong cross-onshore winds and lumpy conditions. From Wednesday the 26th, things get big and gnarly. An 12ft W swell rolls in with a 19-second period (very long period groundswell) and energy is through the roof at 8437 (strong). This is expert-only territory. The wind is cross, and it’s a bit of a beast, but the power is undeniable.
Thursday the 27th still holds size at 8ft, but the wind is still fresh. Not the cleanest, but the energy stays high (3486).
Friday the 28th afternoon sees a drop in size to 5ft, but the wind goes offshore from the SE at 20 km/h (12 mph). Clean lines, moderate energy (587), and a good chance for a fun session if you pick your moment.
Saturday the 29th afternoon is another standout. A 6ft WSW swell, 16-second period, and gentle offshore breeze from the ESE. The energy is 2032 (strong), and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. Clean, lined-up waves.
The following week holds some promise. Monday the 31st morning has a 5ft WSW swell with a 15-second period and a light cross-off, delivering clean waves and 1624 energy (moderate). Then Tuesday the 1st of September morning sees a 7ft WSW swell, but the wind is onshore, so it’s a bit of a gamble.
The real standout of the whole outlook is Monday the 7th of September morning. This is a beast. A 15ft WSW swell with a 20-second period (exceptionally long period groundswell) and energy at 14686 (very strong). The wind is gentle from the east, giving a clean face. This is exceptional surf, but only for expert surfers. The point will be a freight train, offering long, barreling walls. Definitely one to mark on the calendar, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
There’s a gap of poor conditions around Tuesday the 2nd and Wednesday the 3rd of September, with strong onshore winds and messy surf. Then Thursday the 5th and Friday the 6th of September morning sessions look clean again, with 8ft to 12ft swells.
Overall, the best bets are Monday the 24th morning and Saturday the 29th afternoon for your clean, manageable waves, and the big one on Monday the 7th of September for the thrill-seekers.
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.
