The Lowdown
Righto, let’s cut through it. Avoca Point is mostly flat and shithouse for the first couple of days. From Tuesday the 25th through Wednesday the 26th, there’s nothing doing. The real deal doesn’t kick off until Thursday the 27th of August.
Thursday morning the 27th of August brings a 6ft swell out of the south, with a 9-second period, and clean cross-off winds. The combined energy is moderate (515), and it’s forecasted to be primo. For a solid intermediate session, this is on the money.
The real standout, the one you’ll remember, is Friday morning the 28th of August. It’s dead flat calm, with SW winds at just 3 mph. You’ve got a 5ft swell from the SSE with a longer 11-second period, giving the waves some serious grunt. Combined energy is a meaty 520. The glassy conditions will make it look like a mirror. That longer period means it’ll break with more shape and power, especially over the point. A killer morning.
Water temp is 64°F, which is totally normal for this time of year, nothing wild there.
Saturday the 29th stays fun in the morning with a 5ft SE swell and clean cross-off wind, packing a load of energy (719). Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st mornings offer smaller, clean surf in the 3ft to 4ft range – good for a high-performance longboard.
After that, from Tuesday the 1st of September, the window slams shut again. There’s a tiny, good-looking session on Tuesday afternoon with glassy conditions and 3ft SSE swell (277 energy), but it’s a blip. After that you’re looking at weak, onshore rubbish until a possible clean session on Wednesday the 9th of September morning. That one has a 5ft swell and offshore wind, but the period is a short 8 seconds and the wind is gusty around 16 mph, so it won't be the usual clean point-break perfection.
Get in the water Friday morning the 28th. That’s the call.

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.
