Avalon Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Avalon Point over the next couple of weeks. This point break is a consistent performer, especially when that optimum swell direction from the WSW lines up. It’s a fairly exposed spot, so it grabs a good chunk of energy. Water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start to the week. Sunday the 23rd is a bit of a mixed bag. The morning session is actually looking pretty tidy. We’ve got a clean 4.6ft WSW swell, with a light cross-off breeze from the S at 10 km/h. It’s clean, and the combined energy is a solid 1031 (moderate energy). Not a standout, but a nice warm-up.

Monday the 24th is where things start to get interesting. The morning is a real gem. We’ve got a 6.6ft WSW swell, and the wind is going glassy from the ESE at just 5 km/h. That’s a huge positive – you’ll be surfing on glass. The combined energy jumps to 1570 (moderate energy), and the period is a nice 14 seconds (long period groundswell), which will give the point some real shape and power. The bigger sets will have a nice gap between them, making the paddle out easier. This is a genuine standout session. Afternoon turns onshore, but that morning is the one.

Tuesday the 25th is a write-off. Choppy, cross-onshore winds with that NNW flow at 25 km/h. The quality drops right off.

Wednesday the 26th, however, brings some serious size. Wednesday morning is 11.5ft from the W with a massive 19-second period, but it’s cross-on and the combined energy is a beastly 9945 (very strong energy). That’s big, powerful, and a bit raw. The afternoon, though, is exceptional for experts. 13.1ft WSW swell, 18-second period, and cross-off wind from the S at 10 km/h. The energy is still enormous at 9865. This is heavy, clean, and demanding. Definitely not for beginners – the swell is over 8ft, it’s expert territory only.

Thursday the 27th settles a little but stays solid. Sizes drop to 9.8ft and 8.2ft with a long period (16 and 15 seconds). Winds are cross-off from the SSE, but they are fresh (35 km/h) on Thursday morning, which will put a bit of a chop on the face. The afternoon is cleaner but still a bit tricky. Not the best conditions for the size.

Friday the 28th sees the swell dropping back to 5.2-4.9ft. The morning is clean but the wind is a moderate cross-off from the SE. The afternoon swings to a moderate offshore from the SE at 25 km/h. That’s a solid, clean afternoon wave with 666 (moderate energy). Good for a fun session.

Saturday the 29th is another standout. The afternoon brings a 4.9ft WSW swell with a 16-second period and strong offshore E winds at 25 km/h. The combined energy is 1584 (moderate energy), and the wave comment says excellent conditions for experienced surfers. It’s a clean, powerful point wave. The morning is smaller, but still clean.

Sunday the 30th morning is excellent. 7.5ft WSW at 17 seconds, with a light cross-off from the NE at 10 km/h. The energy is 3022 (strong energy). That’s a big, clean, long-period groundswell on a point break. This is prime. Crowds are likely here (listed as ‘often’), so get in early.

Monday the 31st is messy. The wind picks up from the SSW at 25-30 km/h, making things lumpy and cross. The size is still around 6.2ft, but the conditions don’t do it justice.

September starts with a similar pattern. Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd have decent 6.6-7.2ft WSW swells, but the wind is cross-shore. The morning of Wednesday the 2nd is clean with a light cross-off, so that’s your window there.

Thursday the 3rd is another glassy morning. 7.2ft WSW at 14 seconds, with glassy conditions from a light NE at 5 km/h. The combined energy is 1705 (moderate energy). That is a beautiful, clean morning. The point will be a thing of beauty.

After that, the wind turns onshore and
