The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break it down in feet and knots for you.
Water temp is a pleasant 65°, just a touch above the norm for this time of year.
We're starting off flat, a few days with nothin' to speak of. Then on Thursday, July 30th, the morning shows a 6ft S swell, 9-second period, with a clean offshore breeze from the WSW. The ocean's got some energy in it, and it'll be a fun one to get wet.
The real standout, the one you don't want to miss, is Friday, July 31st. The morning session is firing. You've got a clean 7ft S swell, 10-second period, and the wind is blowin' offshore from the SW. The ocean is pumping with energy, and the conditions are set for excellent surf. That's the session for the week, but remember, anything over 5ft can be a handful for the less experienced.
Saturday, August 1st, is still alright in the morning with a 5ft SSE swell and clean conditions, but the wind fouls up in the afternoon.
The next week has a few more pulses, but nothin' really gets the heart goin' until Tuesday, August 11th. The morning brings back a 6ft S swell, 9-second period, with a clean offshore breeze from the W. It's lookin' very good.
But the long-range gem, the one you gotta keep an eye on, is Wednesday, August 12th. The morning forecast is a dream: an 8ft S groundswell, with a long 11-second period, and the wind is dead calm from the NNW. The ocean is loaded with energy. This is a big one, over 8ft, so it's strictly for the experienced crew. That long period will make the waves a bit square at the beach, but Avoca Point is a point break, so it should handle it real nicely. This is a proper, serious session.
There's a huge spike on the 13th with a 10ft swell, but the forecast says it's just too big for this spot.
Your best calls are Friday morning, July 31st, for some solid, clean waves, and the glassy morning of Wednesday, August 12th, for the big-dog session.
Rusty out.

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