Avoca Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about what’s on offer at Avoca Point.

Right now, it’s pretty quiet. The first few days aren’t worth paddling out for – we’ve got small, messy swell with cross-shore winds and a lot of chop. Sunday the 9th is a write-off, Monday the 10th is blown out with strong cross winds, and Tuesday morning the 11th is tiny. It’s a slow start, but things start to shift.

The first real glimmer comes Tuesday afternoon on the 11th. A clean 4ft south swell rolls in with a 12-second period, cross-off wind, and a combined energy of 531 – that’s moderate but solid. It’s not huge, but the waves will have some shape and the light offshore breeze will keep it clean. This is a good afternoon to sneak in a session.

Wednesday the 12th is small again, but clean. The swell drops back under 3ft, though the wind stays light and cross-off. It’s surfable but nothing to get excited about.

Thursday the 13th is the standout of the first week. Morning kicks off with a clean 6ft south swell, 8-second period, and a solid offshore wind from the SW. The wave energy jumps to 473 – moderate but punchy. By afternoon, it cleans up even more: 6ft south swell, 9-second period, light cross-off breeze, and the energy hits 670. That’s a proper session. The water is 64°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Friday the 14th holds some decent leftovers. Morning has 4ft with offshore wind, clean and fun. The afternoon picks up to 6ft again but with a cross-off breeze, so still good but a bit more textured.

From Saturday the 15th through to Tuesday the 19th, it fades. Small, weak swell, a lot of cross-shore and onshore winds, and very little energy. There’s a glassy moment on Tuesday the 18th morning, but only 2ft – barely a ripple.

The second week sees a promising pulse arrive on Sunday the 23rd. A 7ft ENE swell, 9-second period, with cross-off wind from the WNW and a combined energy of 1107 – that’s strong to very strong. This is a big, powerful swell, and it’s pushing over 8ft range, so it’s for experienced surfers only. The wind is clean, but the period is a touch short, so it’ll be a bit walled-up at the point. Still, a big session for those who can handle it. Following that, Monday the 24th brings a 4ft east swell with a longer 11-second period and offshore wind, clean and well-shaped, but smaller.

So, the best of the outlook: Thursday the 13th afternoon for clean, solid waves in the chest-to-head high range, and Sunday the 23rd for the big, powerful, expert-only swell. Keep an eye on that long-range one – it’s promising but a week and a half away, so things could shift.
