The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’.
Truth be told, the next week or so is dead quiet. We’re looking at a long, flat spell from now all the way through to the end of July. Nothing but tiny dribbles and poor conditions at Avalon-North. That’s a tough stretch, but don’t let it get you down – it’s the kind of blank run that happens around here, and it never lasts forever.
The real action doesn’t show up until Saturday the 1st of August. A little bump of south-southeast swell pushes in at around 6 ft with a 9-second period, but the wind is cross and the energy is moderate (535). It’s marginal at best, and the crowd factor is something to keep in mind – this spot often has company.
Now, here’s the standout. Sunday morning, the 2nd of August. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. We’ve got a solid 5 ft south-southeast groundswell rolling in with an 11-second period, and the combined energy is pumping at 796 – that’s moderate to strong, with some real push behind it. The wind is glassy. Absolutely glassy. That’s as clean as it gets. This is quality surf for an advanced crew, and it’ll be worth the wait. Expect good shape, long lines, and a chance to score some proper waves.
Monday the 3rd of August morning stays fun, with 4 ft from the southeast at 10 seconds, clean with a light cross-off breeze. The energy has dropped to 331, so it’s smaller but still surfable. After that, the swell fades fast through the week, dropping below 3 ft by Tuesday, and conditions get increasingly wind-affected.
For a quick heads-up: Saturday the 8th of August and Sunday the 9th see another pulse – 8 ft and 7 ft from the southeast – but the wind is cross or cross-on, making it messy. The 10th of August brings proper size, 10 ft to 12 ft from the east-southeast, but with strong onshore winds and lumpy conditions, that’s going to be a full-on battle. That’s expert-only territory, and honestly, more of a kite-surfing setup than a clean paddle session.
So to wrap it up: the coming week is a write-off. Sunday the 2nd of August morning is your best bet – clean, glassy, solid groundswell at Avalon-North. Get on it.
Rusty.

Information about the Avalon-North Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Avalon-North provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Avalon-North can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Avalon-North 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-North) 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-North 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.
