Avalon Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at Avalon Point. The window opens with a whole lot of nothing for the first few days. We’re staring down the barrel of a massive, windy, blown-out mess from Saturday the 8th right through the start of the week. That big WSW groundswell is pumping hard, but the wind is a dealbreaker. We’ve got near gale-force cross and cross-onshore winds, and the combined swell energy is monstrous, hitting 12095 in the afternoon, but it’s a total white-knuckle washing machine. No joy there.

The first chance of anything worth paddling out for comes on Tuesday the 11th. The morning sees a solid 14.8 ft swell from the WSW, with a very long 17-second period. The energy is still strong at 10100. The wind is a moderate cross-shore, so it’s a bit lumpy, but it’s a step in the right direction. It’s still a marginal call, but for the experienced crew, there’s something to work with. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year.

The real highlight, the standout window, is the morning of Friday the 14th. We’ve got a clean 7.2 ft swell from the WSW, a 16-second period, and a light offshore breeze from the NE. That’s a crispy, clean setup. The combined energy is moderate at 2429, so it’s not a beast, but it’s a proper, fun-sized groundswell with clean conditions. This is the one to circle in the calendar.

The following Saturday morning is a bit messy with a cross-shore breeze, but by Sunday the 16th, we get glass. The morning of the 16th is dead calm, with a clean 7.2 ft swell from the west. It’s a beautiful, glassy morning. The swell period drops to 13 seconds, so it’s a bit shorter, but the lack of any wind makes it a super clean session. The energy is moderate at 1710.

Monday the 17th still has some decent 9.8 ft west swell with a 17-second period, but the wind is light and variable. It’s a marginal call, but there’s potential. After that, the wind turns nasty again and the surf gets messy and blown out for the rest of the run. The last week is a washout with strong onshores and poor conditions, so don’t get your hopes up for the 22nd or 23rd.

If you’re looking for the best of the bunch, it’s Friday the 14th morning for the clean offshore conditions and that long-period groundswell, or Sunday the 16th morning for the pure glass. Crowds are often a factor here, so expect company on those clean days.
