Avoca Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk Avoca Point in feet and miles per hour.

Honestly, the next couple of weeks are lean. There’s a big chunk of nothing much at the start, and while a couple of sessions look solid, you’ll be waiting for ‘em.

Saturday the 8th starts with a tiny knee-high wave around 2 to 2 feet from the SSE, glassy in the morning but tiny. Wind turns onshore by the afternoon and ruins it. Sunday the 9th is a write-off.

Monday the 10th pushes up to about 6 feet from the ENE, but cross-shore winds at 18-22 mph make it a messy, choppy mess. Not for paddling.

Tuesday the 11th drops to tiny clean waves around 2 to 2 feet with light offshore wind, but hardly any energy – not worth suiting up.

Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th stay poor, though Thursday afternoon shows a 7-foot S swell with a long 12-second period and very strong energy. Light cross-shore wind with ripples – marginal and better left for experts.

Now, Friday the 14th morning is the first real bright spot. Glassy, light offshore wind, clean 4-foot S swell on a 10-second period. Moderate energy. That’s your best near-term session. Get on it early before it goes onshore.

The big standout is Saturday morning the 15th of August. That’s a solid 6-foot S swell, 10-second period, with strong energy and light cross-offshore SSW winds. Clean, powerful, and punchy – one for the experienced crew. It’s about a week out, but it’s the best on the whole outlook.

After that, it gets messy again from Sunday the 16th through Wednesday the 19th with onshore wind, rain, and choppy surf. There’s a glassy window Monday the 17th afternoon but with tiny 3-foot swell and weak energy – nothing exciting.

Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st stay poor, but Friday afternoon the 21st has glassy calm winds, a 3-foot SE swell on a 7-second period, moderate energy. Small but clean for a grovel.

The final standout is Saturday the 22nd of August. Clean 5-foot ENE swell, 9-second period, cross-offshore winds, strong energy. That’s a fun, clean session for intermediates.

Sunday the 23rd fades with cross-winds and lumpy conditions.

Avoca Point (Avoca-Point) is a beach and point setup, exposed to swells, and the optimum direction is from the east. The best swells on the 15th and 22nd are from the south and east-northeast – not perfect but decent. Water temp is about average for this time of year.

So, Friday morning the 14th is your near-term call. For the real deal, circle Saturday the 15th morning and Saturday the 22nd. There are big gaps of poor surf in between, but when it’s good, it’s clean.
