The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s break down Avoca Point.
Water temp is about 57°F, pretty normal for the season. The next couple of weeks have some hits and misses.
Monday the 7th starts with a glassy morning, 5ft swell from the SSE, short 8-second period, weak energy (261). It’s rideable but that’s it. Afternoon turns onshore and ugly.
Tuesday the 8th morning jumps to 8ft from the SSE, still 9 seconds, clean with cross-off wind. That’s expert territory. Combined energy is moderate (1052). The afternoon drops to 6ft and cleaner – better for strong intermediates.
Wednesday the 9th is a total loss. Thursday the 10th morning is a standout: 8ft, clean offshore wind, strong energy (1298). Experts only. Afternoon hits 10ft – way too big.
Friday the 11th morning is another expert window: 8ft, light offshore, strong (1050). Then a massive dry spell from Saturday the 12th through Thursday the 17th – nearly a week of poor, small, or onshore slop.
Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th are poor, but Sunday the 20th morning turns glassy with 3ft from the S, 10-second period, weak energy (203). Small, but clean – good for learning.
The later standout is Tuesday the 22nd morning: 8ft from the S, short 8-second period, glassy wind, moderate energy (649). That’s clean but expert-only, and the afternoon blows out to 10ft.
Best of the bunch: Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th mornings – solid, clean, powerful. Tuesday the 22nd morning is a promising long-range call but less certain. Otherwise, you’ll be watching from the sand.
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.
