Avoca Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, looking at Avoca Point for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, the first few days are a bummer. Saturday afternoon (18 July) is a complete mess with that cross-shore wind and a weak, short-period 1.1m easterly swell. The water's about 66°F, which is normal for this time of year. Sunday (19 July) is barely better – a bigger 2.0m swell but still cross-shore and the quality sucks.

Now, Monday morning (20 July) is the real deal. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, with a 1.7m easterly groundswell at 11 seconds. The energy is strong (807), and it's gonna be clean. For a point break, that long-period swell is perfect. It's not too big for a solid intermediate, but it's got some punch. The morning is the key; the afternoon turns onshore.

Tuesday (21 July) and Wednesday (22 July) drop off fast. The swell fades and the wind gets ugly. Just leftovers.

Then Thursday (23 July) afternoon throws a big one. A 2.5m south swell, but it's short period at 9 seconds. The wind is a clean cross-off, so it's not choppy, but that's a lot of juice. The wave energy is strong (1888). This is for the experts only; beginners, stay on the beach. Might even be better for kiting than paddling.

Friday (24 July) morning is the other standout. Offshore wind, a 2.1m south swell at 10 seconds, and clean. That's powerful, well-shaped surf at Avoca Point. The energy is strong (852) but the wind makes it work. A solid session for anyone who knows what they're doing.

After that, it's a slow fade. Saturday (25 July) and Sunday (26 July) have clean but small waves, dropping from 1.2m down to 0.9m. The glassy conditions on Saturday afternoon are a nice consolation for a longboard.

From Monday (27 July) through Wednesday (29 July), the swell gets tiny and the wind is mostly onshore or cross. It's a flat spell. The energy drops way down, and there's nothing to get excited about.

Towards the end, Thursday (30 July) shows a weird little spike: a 0.6m south swell with a very long period of 17 seconds. That's a lot of travel for a small wave, and it'll be a bit straight on a beach break, but at a point, it might produce some clean, fat lines. The wind is cross-off, but it's a marginal session.

The final weekend (1-2 August) is a washout with strong onshore winds and rain. The last little window on Sunday afternoon (2 August) shows a 1.0m swell with offshore wind, but it's a long way off and the forecast is shaky.

So, your best calls are Monday morning (20 July) for the glassy, long-period east swell, and Friday morning (24 July) for the bigger, clean south swell. The rest of the time, you're picking through the scraps.

Rusty.
