The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk surf. Avalon Point is the only break in the picture – a point that’s fairly consistent and open to the swell, best from the WSW. Water temp is about 66°F, right on average for the time of year.
Sunday afternoon gets things started with a clean 6ft swell from the WSW, period around 13 seconds, and a light cross-off breeze out of the NE. The energy is solid at 1249, and it’s looking like very good surf. That’s your first go.
Then things go quiet. Monday through Wednesday the 5th of August is mostly poor or marginal. Winds shift to cross and cross-on, and the swell runs from 4ft to 10ft but the quality tanks. Tuesday the 4th has a 8ft swell but it’s cross-on and choppy. Wednesday the 5th hits 10ft but the onshore wind makes it lumpy. Thursday and Friday the 6th and 7th are similar – big swell sizes but the wind is junk. Friday afternoon is a fresh 35 km/h cross-on, just nasty.
The first real standout is Saturday the 8th of August morning. Clean 12ft swell from the WSW, period 16 seconds, with a moderate cross-off from the SSE. Energy is 5717. That’s big, long-period groundswell – over 8ft, so experts only. The point should handle the long period well.
But the one to get excited about is Tuesday the 11th of August. Morning brings a 13ft swell from the WSW, period 20 seconds – that’s very long period groundswell. Energy is a massive 10736. Wind is a light cross-off from the E, clean as can be. This is exceptional for experts. Afternoon pushes to 16ft and 13725 energy, still clean. Circle this one, but remember it’s a long-range call.
Wednesday the 12th of August morning holds 12ft from the SW, period 14 seconds, with a light offshore from the ESE. Clean and big. Afternoon drops to 10ft but still clean.
After that, it fades. Thursday the 13th drops to 5ft, energy falls off. Friday the 14th morning has a 8ft swell with a light offshore – clean, good for experienced surfers, but not the standout. Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th have some clean 5ft to 8ft options, decent enough. The 17th of August afternoon is glassy with a 5ft swell – a nice, mellow finish.
So, the first few days are a wash after Sunday. Saturday the 8th is a solid expert option, but Tuesday the 11th is the real deal – massive, clean, and exceptional. After that, smaller but still fun. Beginners should aim for the smaller days like the 15th or 17th, but watch the wind.

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.
Avalon Point is 11 km (7 miles) from Mandurah. If you plan a holiday in Perth City Coast, look for hotels and other accommodation in Mandurah. Mandurah has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
