Avalon Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.

We’re looking at a bit of a mixed bag for Avalon Point. The early days are a tease, with some clean conditions but not a lot of push. The real standout is shaping up for the morning of Monday, July 27th, and that’s the one to circle on the calendar.

Thursday, July 23rd kicks things off with a clean morning. It’s a 5ft swell from the WSW with a long 14-second period, and the wind is a cross-off. The combined energy is moderate (943). The afternoon glass-off is even cleaner, with 4ft WSW swell and offshore ESE wind at only 3 mph. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, which is a nice bonus.

Friday, July 24th is a write-off in the morning with a strong cross-shore, but the afternoon is a real gem. The wind drops to nothing—completely glassy—with a clean 3ft WSW swell. The energy is light (303), but for a beginner-friendly point, those conditions are gold.

After that, we hit a rough patch. Saturday, July 25th through most of Sunday, July 26th is just poor—on-shore, lumpy, and messy. The wind picks up to a fresh 22 mph on Sunday morning, with an 8ft cross-on swell that’s too big and blown out.

Now, Monday, July 27th is the real deal. Morning has a 7ft WSW swell, 12-second period, and a clean offshore wind from the SE. The energy is solid (1220). By afternoon, it’s still 6ft and clean. This is the best on offer. The waves will have shape, the wind is perfect, and the point will handle that size nicely.

Tuesday, July 28th is workable but not as good. Both sessions are clean with cross-off winds, but the swell drops to 5ft and 5ft. The energy is still moderate (1057 and 1105), but it’s a step down.

Wednesday, July 29th and Thursday, July 30th are a mixed story. Wednesday is choppy and cross-shore, but Thursday is a return to form. The morning of the 30th is small (2ft) but with a very long 20-second period, clean offshore wind, and a glassy surface. The energy is surprisingly solid for the size (830). The afternoon picks up to 4ft with a 18-second period. It’s pristine, just small.

Friday, July 31st sees a big bump in size—8ft in the morning, 7ft in the afternoon—but the wind is cross-shore and messy. That’s expert territory, and the conditions aren’t there to back it up.

Saturday, August 1st is a bust. 8ft to 10ft of WSW swell with a strong, lumpy cross-wind. That’s a kite day, not a paddle day.

The second week is a bit of a washout. Sunday, August 2nd through Wednesday, August 6th sees persistent cross-on shore winds, lumpy chop, and sizes that keep it too messy for the point to shine. There’s a brief moment on Tuesday, August 4th afternoon with a 4ft, very long 19-second period swell and light wind, but it’s cross-on and just a marginal offering.

The outlook ends on Friday, August 7th with a massive 12ft, 15-second period swell from the W, cross-off wind, and a staggering 5030 combined energy. For a point break, that’s borderline heroic. It’s clean, but it’s a monster for experts only.

Bottom line: Lock in the morning of Monday, July 27th. That’s your best shot. The rest of the run is either small and clean, or big and messy. Keep an eye on that Thursday the 30th for a glassy, long-period session if you’re on a log.

Rusty.
