Avalon Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right now, the ocean’s got a bit of a pulse, but it’s far from perfect. The first real window of opportunity shows up on the 20th, after a messy couple of days up front. Before that, we’ve got some lumpy, windy, poor surf through the 18th and 19th, with one solid pulse of swell on the 19th that will be blown to bits – 4.5m and strong onshore winds make that one a write-off for paddling, and honestly, that setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than anything else.

Once Sunday the 20th rolls in, things clean right up. The morning will have a clean 2.0m west swell, light offshore breeze from the east, and that’s when it starts feeling like a proper surf day. The energy’s moderate at best (1194), but the quality is there. It’s a good one to get wet, especially for the beginners out there – that size is manageable.

Then we get to the standout. Monday the 21st is the pick of the pack. Glassy conditions, light offshore (actually near glass), and a 2.2m WSW groundswell with a 15-second period. The energy’s solid (2133), and that long period is going to wrap nicely around the point. Avalon Point (Avalon-Point) will be handling this beautifully. This is a proper point break moment – clean, lined-up, and juicy. That’s the one you want to be out for.

After that, we’ve got a bit of a lull mid-week – nothing too flash, just small, cross-shore chop and knee-to-waist high waves. Conditions stay mediocre through the 24th.

But then the next window opens up. Friday the 25th brings a bigger pulse – 3.0m WSW with a long 19-second period, and it’s cross-offshore. The energy’s pumping (6860), and it’s clean, but this one’s pushing into expert territory. That size, with that period, is a proper handful, and at a point break like this, it’s going to be fast and powerful. The morning is the better call, as the afternoon gets a bit windier.

Saturday the 26th is also solid – 2.2m, clean offshore winds, and a 17-second period. Still big, still powerful, but a touch more manageable. Strong energy (2609). This is another great day, but honestly, if you’re not comfortable in heavy water, watch from the cliff.

Then Sunday the 27th throws a bit of a curveball – 4.0m at 10 seconds. That short period makes it a mess at a point – it’ll be lumpy and breaking too straight. Not ideal, despite the size.

After that, we settle back down. The start of October sees a few days of cross-shore chop, and the swell drops back to 2-2.4m. Nothing special, just average days you’d call a background instead of a highlight.

One thing to note – the water’s sitting at 18°, which is right around average for this time of year. Not cold, not warm, just typical.

So, my honest take: Monday the 21st is the gem – clean, glassy, solid groundswell, and a point break that’ll make it sing. Saturday the 26th is the second standout – big, clean, and powerful, but only for the experienced crew. Everything else is background noise until then.

That’s the story from the sand. Stay safe out there.

Rusty.
