The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase for Avalon Point. We’ve got a lot of average to poor conditions early, but there are a couple of real windows of opportunity if you’re patient.
This morning, Wednesday the 16th, we’ve got a small, clean 1.4m WSW swell with a 14-second period. Light NE offshore winds make it glassy. Water temp is 18°, right on average. It’s surfable but nothing special. The afternoon goes to 1.2m with a slight SE wind.
Thursday and Friday are pretty much a right-off. Swell drops to 1.0-1.1m, and the wind is onshore and strong, making for lumpy, choppy conditions. Not worth paddling out. Saturday the 19th, the swell pumps up to 4.0m, but it’s got a 40 km/h onshore wind on it. That’s a big, stormy, blown-out mess. Only for the kamikazes, and I wouldn’t even recommend it for them.
Sunday the 20th is our first real session. The swell settles to a clean 2.0m from the WSW, and we get light offshore SE winds. It’s clean, lined up, and fun. Monday looks a bit messier with a 2.2m swell but cross-onshore winds. Surfable, but not clean. Tuesday is average, and Wednesday the 23rd is another good one. A clean 1.8m WSW with glassy conditions – perfect for the longboard. But then it gets bumpy again for the end of the week.
Now, the standout, the one you want to plan for, is the morning of the 30th of September. We’ve got a 2.5m WSW swell, a 17-second period, and light offshore winds making it glassy. The energy is pumping, reading a strong 3756. This is a powerful, clean groundswell for experienced surfers. If you’ve got the skills, this is your window.
The morning of the 1st of October also looks promising, with a solid 2.0m WSW, a 16-second period, and offshore winds. Another excellent early morning session.
So, to be straight with you: the first week is mostly forgettable. The second week has two great mornings, and the 30th of September is the pick of the month. Set your alarms, but understand this is a long-range call and things can change. Rusty out.

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.
