Avoca Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Avoca Point has got cookin' for the next couple of weeks.

It’s not a roaring start, but from Sunday the 26th we get a pulse of good energy. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild there. The standout window kicks off Sunday morning with a solid 6ft swell from the south, packing moderate energy (753) and a clean 11-second period. The wind is a light cross-off from the west, so the lineup should be pretty tidy. This is your best bet early on.

Monday the 27th morning drops to a cleaner but smaller 4ft south swell. The wind goes glassy, dead calm from the southwest, so the surface will be like a mirror. It's smaller, but for a smooth, easy session, that's a real treat. The combined swell energy is weak (212), but with conditions like that, who cares?

The middle of the week goes flat. Tuesday and Wednesday are a write-off with tiny, weak waves. There’s a gap until Thursday the 30th morning, which brings back a proper 7ft south groundswell. The energy jumps right up (788), and we’ve got a clean offshore wind from the southwest. That's a solid, powerful day for the competent crew.

Friday the 31st morning pushes up to a hefty 10ft south swell. The combined energy is strong (2733), but honestly, that's too much muscle for Avoca Point. This one is strictly for the experts. Big, powerful lines from the south.

Saturday the 1st of August settles back to a much more manageable 6ft from the SSE. Still a decent offshore breeze, and the energy is moderate (571). After Friday's thump, this is the day for the rest of us to get back out. The following Sunday the 2nd holds similar 6ft SSE swell with clean conditions and moderate energy (862), though the period stretches to 11 seconds, making it a bit more particular—better for the point, less for a beachy takeoff.

After that first week, the surf fades again. From Monday the 3rd through to Wednesday the 5th, we are looking at small to flat surf with average energy. There's another pulse on Thursday the 6th of August—a 7ft south swell with moderate energy (987) and offshore wind in the morning—but the rain showers might put a damper on it. The rest of that week and into the weekend stays small and weak, with no real standouts.

So for the full 16 days, lock in Sunday the 26th morning for the best combo of size and conditions, and Thursday the 30th morning for the next proper solid swell. Friday the 31st is only for the brave.

Rusty.
