The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk Avoca Point for the next couple of weeks.
We start slow, but Friday the 11th morning is the real winner. Swell’s running 6ft from the SSE, period around 10 seconds, with moderate wave energy (564). A light SW offshore breeze is keeping it clean and lined up. Avoca Point is a beach and point break, and while the swell direction isn’t a dead match for the optimum E, it’s still gonna have some nice head-high sets. Water temp is about normal for the season.
Saturday the 12th morning is another good one. Smaller at 4ft from the SSE, but it’s glassy—dead calm wind. Energy is moderate (358), and the conditions will be silky smooth. Perfect for a smaller board or a longboard. This spot can draw a crowd though, so expect some company.
Then we hit a flat patch. Sunday and Monday are blown out and tiny. Tuesday the 15th is barely worth a look. Wednesday the 16th morning, the swell jumps to 8ft from the S, with a short 9-second period and a fresh offshore breeze. That’s heavy energy (1088), but the short period makes it lumpy. That’s expert-only territory—beginners, stay dry.
Thursday the 17th morning is another standout. Swell drops to 4ft from the S, 10-second period, and glassy conditions. Clean, moderate energy (346), and ideal for a morning session. Crowds are likely, but it’s a quality window.
The second week is more hit and miss. Sunday the 20th afternoon has a 3ft swell from the S with glassy wind and good conditions (248). Wednesday the 23rd morning offers 4ft from the NE with a cross-off breeze, but the period is short (7 seconds), so it’s a bit messy.
The best on offer is Friday the 11th morning—that 6ft, offshore, clean surf is the clear standout. Saturday morning and Thursday the 17th morning are also top picks. Near-term calls are solid; the long-range stuff is just a maybe.
Keep your eyes on the horizon and your wax on.
Rusty.

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.
Avoca Point is 16 km (10 miles) from Central Coast. If you plan a holiday in Newcastle, look for hotels and other accommodation in Central Coast. Central Coast has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
