Avoca Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Avoca Point over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a slow start. Tuesday and Wednesday are basically flat with tiny, weak dribbles. You’re not missing a thing. The wait is worth it, though, because things switch on from Thursday morning.

Thursday the 30th is our first real chance. The swell pulses up to a clean 5ft from the south (9 seconds), and with a light cross-offshore wind, Avoca Point will have some fun, workable waves. The combined energy jumps to a solid moderate 421 – it’s got some push. Not the biggest, but it’s the start of the good stuff.

Now, the standout. Friday the 31st morning is the one to circle. We’re looking at a 6ft south swell at 10 seconds, with a lovely offshore wind out of the southwest. The energy is strong at 634, and the conditions are described as “gentle offshore and clean.” That’s what we live for. This is a proper session – the swell has some size, the wind is perfect, and the point will be reeling. It’s a bit meaty for beginners at that size, but for the intermediates and up, it’s the pick of the entire forecast.

Saturday the 1st hangs in there with a smaller 5ft south-southeast swell in the morning, still with a light offshore breeze. It’s not as exciting as Friday, but it’s a solid backup. The afternoon loses the wind, turning cross-on, so get out early.

The rest of the first week and into the second week gets messy. Sunday the 2nd afternoon brings onshore wind, and from Monday the 3rd into the following week, the wind is all over the shop. There’s a pulse of raw energy around Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th, with swell heights over 7ft and combined energy readings like 1142 and 1611, but the wind is cross-on and fresh. For a beach-and-point setup like this, that’s more of a kiteboarding show than a clean paddle session. The surf quality is poor, so I’d give it a miss.

Looking further out, Saturday the 8th of August offers a glimmer. A 5ft swell from the east-southeast, with glassy conditions in the morning. That’s a real treat. The energy is strong at 611, and the waves should be clean and inviting. It’s a long way off, so promise is there, but keep your fingers crossed. Sunday the 9th morning also has a glassy window with a smaller 3ft swell, good for a longboard or a fun log.

Beyond that, the wind turns onshore again and the swell drops off. There’s a gap of quiet days from the 10th through to the end of the run, with only tiny, weak surf and poor conditions. The 12th has a fresh offshore wind, but the swell is only 3ft – it’s a windswell with more bark than bite.

So, to wrap it up: Friday the 31st morning is your absolute best bet. Get on it. Thursday the 30th and Saturday the 8th morning are the solid backups. The rest is a mix of waiting, wind, and whitecaps.

Stay wet, friends.

Rusty.
