Avalon-North Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the pipe for Avalon-North.

Alright, so we're looking at a pretty quiet start to the outlook. For the first few days, it's all small and weak, with energy barely registering in the single digits. The water is sitting at 65°F, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

The first real chance to get your feet wet looks like Saturday, the 1st of August. We've got a 6ft south-southeast swell rolling in with a moderate energy reading (661). The morning is looking promising with a light cross-offshore breeze, which should keep things clean. It's a bit of a longer period, 10 seconds, so there'll be some decent shape in the water. The afternoon gets a bit messy with an onshore wind, so make the most of the morning.

Sunday the 2nd might be the pick of the bunch. The swell is a touch bigger at 6ft from the south-southeast, and the energy is ramping up (961). The period is getting longer too, 12 seconds, which means proper groundswell lines. The morning is clean with a light cross-shore breeze. This is a point break, so that long-period energy will wrap in nicely. It's consistent and fairly exposed to the swell, so it could be a good one. The wind swaps around in the afternoon and gets a bit choppy, so again, dawn patrol is the call.

Monday morning the 3rd has some chest-high leftovers around 4ft, and the wind is light and off, so it'll be clean. Not a standout, but a solid session. The afternoon goes glassy, but the waves are smaller.

After that, the swell drops right off through the rest of the first week and into the second. There's a bit of a pulse on Friday the 7th with a 4ft easterly swell, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it'll be a bit bumpy and weak. Saturday the 8th has a very long period (16 seconds) swell, but it's tiny at 2ft, so it's more of a hint than a wave, and the wind is howling.

The second week is pretty bleak overall. There's a moderate bump on Monday the 10th of August with a 6ft north-east swell, but the wind is cross-onshore and the wave quality is poor, so it's going to be a mess. The energy is there (502), but the conditions will be a write-off. For the rest of the week, it's all small, choppy, and cross-on.

Honestly, for a spot that's a consistent point break, this stretch is a bit of a dud after that Sunday swell. If you're a beginner, that 6ft on Sunday is getting a bit punchy, but it's doable if you're comfortable. Anything over 8ft isn't in the mix, so no worries there. For the rest of the window, you're better off finding a different hobby. The setup is so small and weak, it's not even worth mentioning for kites.

So, the standout is without a doubt the morning of Sunday, the 2nd of August. Get on it early.

Rusty.
