The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk Avalon Point. Got a solid run of swell over the next couple weeks, with a few killer windows of clean conditions. Water temp’s about normal for this time of year.
We start off Wednesday the 19th, and it’s a bummer – 8ft W swell, but cross-on wind and choppy. Afternoon has 10ft from the WSW, but still messy. Not worth wetting the suit.
Thursday morning the 20th is where it turns. Swell 8ft from the WSW, 16-second period, and it’s glassy – dead flat water. This is a big, clean wave for experienced surfers only. The point will love that long-period groundswell.
Friday morning the 21st stays clean, 8ft WSW, 15 seconds, cross-off breeze. Still solid. Saturday morning the 22nd is another glassy morning with 6ft, 16 seconds. That’s the pick of the first week – light air, clean, and good energy. Crowds are possible, so get there early.
Sunday the 23rd drops to 5ft in the morning, then picks up to 6ft but gets some cross-chop. Monday the 24th is cross-on and choppy. Tuesday the 25th is a total washout – onshore wind, poor.
Then Wednesday the 26th morning – the big one. 10ft from the WSW, 17-second period, cross-off breeze, clean. This is expert territory, powerful and lined up. The best day on offer.
Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th taper off into smaller, cleaner waves. Sunday the 30th morning is a good session: 6ft from the W, light wind, clean. Monday the 31st morning similar at 6ft, clean.
The start of September has a pulse but winds get messy. The real gold is in that last week of August. For experts, Thursday the 20th, Saturday the 22nd, and especially Wednesday the 26th mornings are your go. For everyone else, Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st mornings are the safest bet.
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.
