Avalon Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks are looking like a mixed bag for Avalon Point, with some real standouts early on and then a pretty wild ride later.

The first proper session worth paddling out for hits on Saturday afternoon, July 11th. We’ve got a solid 6 ft swell out of the WSW, a clean 13-second period, and cross-off winds from the south at 15 km/h. The water is sitting at 67°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, no weird anomalies. The combined energy is sitting at a moderate 965, so there’s some push but nothing crazy. It’s a good warm-up.

Now, Sunday and Monday are the real gems of this outlook. On Sunday morning, July 12th, it’s going to be firing. Swell bumps up to 6 ft from the WSW, with a long 15-second period – that’s proper groundswell energy rolling in. Light easterly wind at 10 km/h keeping it clean, and the combo energy jumps way up to 1937. That’s moderate-strong wave energy. Avalon Point is fairly exposed and loves this WSW direction, so expect some long, lined-up walls. This isn’t for beginners though – that size and period will pack a punch.

Monday morning, July 13th, is probably the pick of the bunch. Morning offshore from the ESE at 10 km/h, 7 ft of WSW swell, and a very long 17-second period. That’s a deep ocean groundswell, and the energy is sitting at 2680 – strong stuff. This is for experienced surfers only; the power and size on a point break like this will be quality. Afternoon stays good too with a cross-off breeze.

There’s a bit of a cool-off mid-week. Tuesday, July 14th, still has some nice 6 ft WSW swell and light winds, good for a cruise, but the energy drops a notch. Then from Wednesday, July 15th, through the end of the week, it turns ugly. Strong winds from the north and northwest in the 15-22 mph range kick up an onshore chop, making a mess of things. Swell size stays around 5 ft to 7 ft, but the quality is shot. Not worth suiting up.

Then, hold onto your board – Saturday, July 18th, brings a huge spike. We’re looking at 13 ft of WSW swell with a monster 10817 in energy. That’s a very strong, raw ocean. But the wind is 25 mph from the WSW, direct onshore, making it a complete choppy beast. This is more of a big-wave kite-surfing day than a paddle session, unless you’re a serious chargetool.

Things clean up again for Sunday, July 19th. That big swell drops to a still-chunky 8 ft, and the wind goes glassy. That’s a dream scenario for the right surfer. Weak winds from the NE and S, 3 mph, making for glassy conditions. Combined energy is still at 2566 – strong. This is another expert-only call, but if you can handle it, you’ll score clean, powerful lines.

After that, the swell backs off into the following week. Monday, July 20th, through Wednesday, July 22nd, offers some really pleasant conditions. Swell holds around 5 ft to 6 ft, with clean light offshore or cross-off winds, mostly from the NE or ESE. The energy dips to moderate levels, in the 700-1650 range, making it fun for a wider range of surfers. Thursday, July 23rd, sees another uptick to 10 ft, but with a cross-shore wind, it gets a bit lumpy.

The last few days of the outlook, July 24th to 26th, are a bit all over the place. Friday is blown out with onshore wind and rain, not good. But then Sunday, July 26th, sneaks in a nice little finish – 5 ft of clean WSW swell, a 14-second period, light cross-off wind, and a clean surface. Combined energy is 1502, so the wave quality will be there. A solid last call for the period.

The standout sessions: Sunday morning, July 12th, and Monday morning, July 13th, for power and quality, but strictly for experienced surfers. If you're looking for a slightly mellower but still excellent session, Tuesday, July 14th morning is your best bet with clean lines and manageable size.
