The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming at Avoca Point.
Water temp is about 65°F, which is dead normal for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
You’ve got some good windows if you’re sharp. Saturday morning kicks off with a weak 2ft south swell and cross-on wind – pretty choppy. But Saturday afternoon cleans up with a 2ft south-west swell and cross-off wind. Sunday morning is small but rideable with a 2ft south-west swell and clean offshore. The real green light is Sunday afternoon: 4ft south swell, clean cross-off breeze, and a solid bump in energy (251). That’s the first real taste of something good.
Monday 7th September morning is the standout – glassy conditions, 5ft south swell, and 387 energy. The waves will have some punch, and the surface will be like glass. Get in early – the wind turns easterly in the afternoon and ruins it.
Tuesday 8th September morning jumps to 8ft SSE, cross-off wind, and a massive 1008 energy – that’s big, expert-only stuff. The afternoon drops to 6ft and stays cleaner. Wednesday 9th September morning is nice with 5ft south swell and clean conditions, but the afternoon gets hammered by 25 mph southerly winds – that’s kite-surfing weather.
Thursday 10th September morning is a monster: 10ft south swell, 2585 energy – too big for this break. Experts only. Friday 11th September morning is a beauty: 6ft south swell, light offshore wind, 806 energy – clean and powerful. Saturday 12th September morning is glassy with 5ft south swell and 639 energy – another top session.
From Sunday 13th September, the swell drops and the wind turns onshore, so it’s small and messy for a few days. Then a huge pulse hits on the 16th September – 12ft with 6132 energy – but way too big. Same story for the rest of that week: big, powerful, and only for experts.
So the standout is Monday 7th September morning – glassy, 5ft south swell, clean lines, and plenty of energy. Friday 11th and Saturday 12th September mornings are also excellent. After that, it’s either too big or too small, with a long dry spell from the 13th to the 15th.
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.
