Howdy, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what Avoca Point is dishing up over the next couple weeks.
Right off the bat, it’s flat. Friday the 3rd of July has tiny 1ft swell from the NE with a short 7-second period and a moderate cross-off wind – no reason to get wet. Same story for the afternoon.
Saturday the 4th starts to show some life. Morning brings a cleaner 3ft southerly swell with a nice long 12-second period, giving it proper groundswell feel. Combined energy is moderate at 293. Winds are light and cross-off, so conditions are tidy. It’s surfable for intermediates, nothing epic.
Sunday the 5th turns big. A solid 10ft southerly swell hits with combined energy at 1745 – that’s proper strong. Too big for this beach-and-point setup though. With a fresh 30 km/h cross-off, it’s more for the brave or the gawkers. Experts only, if anyone’s keen.
Monday the 6th stays chunky at 8ft to 8ft from the SSE, with strong energy (1131 to 1055). But the wind is moderate cross-off and conditions are marginal – a bit messy.
Tuesday the 7th morning is a highlight. We’ve got a 7ft SSE swell with a 10-second period and clean offshore wind from the SW. Energy is strong at 1160. This is excellent for experienced surfers – powerful, well-shaped waves with that offshore groom. Crowds can show up here sometimes, so expect a few others in the water. The water temp is 68°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
Wednesday the 8th morning holds at 7ft from the SE with clean cross-off wind and strong energy at 1036. Still solid for the experienced crowd.
From Thursday the 9th into Friday the 10th, the swell drops to 5ft then 4ft, but the wind stays light and offshore/clean – good for intermediates wanting a more relaxed session.
Saturday the 11th sees the swell shrink under 3ft, and by Sunday the 12th it’s back to tiny 1ft junk. There’s a dry spell from late Saturday afternoon through to Friday the 17th – mostly small or onshore slop.
But Saturday the 18th of July morning looks promising. A solid 8ft southerly swell with an 11-second period rolls in, packing strong energy at 1529. The wind is gentle offshore from the WSW, making for clean, powerful lines. This one’s for experienced surfers only – too big for beginners. The afternoon swells to 12ft from the SSE with huge energy at 2799 – that’s just too much for here, with a cross-on breeze to boot.
Top pick? Tuesday the 7th of July morning for that clean, offshore power. Also keep an eye on Saturday the 18th of July morning – that long-period groundswell with offshore wind could be a beauty, but it’s two weeks out, so don’t book your plane ticket yet.
Stay salty.
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.
