Alright, let’s talk surf. Rusty here.
Avoca Point is looking quiet early on, but there’s some real heavy water coming in the second week. Water temp is about 66°F, pretty normal for this time of year.
Saturday morning (11 July) has a weak 4ft SE swell at 9 seconds, cross-shore, energy at 345. Not worth getting wet. Sunday and Monday stay small – we’re talking knee-high or less, clean but flat. Tuesday (14 July) morning drops to just 0.3ft. Barely a ripple.
Wednesday (15 July) morning fires up hard – 12ft south swell at 10 seconds – but that’s way too much for this break. Offshore wind, but the power (energy at 2149) is for experts only. Not a place for beginners.
Thursday (16 July) backs off to 7ft from the SE at a short 7 seconds. Still some energy (485), but short period makes it lumpy.
Friday (17 July) morning is a real good window: 6ft from the ESE at 9 seconds, light cross-off wind, energy at 509. Clean and punchy.
Saturday (18 July) holds with 5–5ft east swell, light offshore or cross-off, energy around 381–492. Solid, clean, fun.
Sunday (19 July) morning is the highlight. Swell hits 8ft east at 10 seconds, glassy with almost no wind, and energy at 2585. That’s world-class. Long clean lines, plenty of power – this is for experienced surfers who want a session to remember. Get out early before the wind switches.
Monday (20 July) morning is nearly as good: 8ft east swell at 12 seconds, light WNW cross-off, energy at 1876. Long-period groundswell that will really wrap into the point.
Tuesday (21 July) morning stays strong with 7ft east at 12 seconds, SW offshore at 15 mph, energy 1321. Another expert session.
Later in the week, Wednesday (22 July) is big with 8ft south but stronger wind and shorter period – messier. Thursday (23 July) settles to a clean 4ft east swell at 12 seconds with light offshore wind and energy 989. That’s a proper finisher.
Friday (24 July) onward into the weekend drops off a bit – 5–7ft but wind turns cross or onshore, quality fades.
Best bets: Sunday 19 July and Monday 20 July mornings. Glassy, solid east swell, long period. That’s the gold.
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.
