Table - best surf conditions forecast for Avoca Point over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Avoca Point has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
It’s a bit of a flat start, I won’t lie to ya. The beginning of the week is pretty much a write-off. Monday and Tuesday, we’re looking at tiny 0.7ft slop with no energy to speak of – not even worth paddling out for. We’ve got a bit of a gap there until things start to show some life.
Finally, on Wednesday the 15th, we get a pulse of energy. The morning kicks off with a 3ft south swell, clean with a moderate offshore breeze from the southwest. The combined energy is moderate at 243, and it’s looking like the pick of the whole run. It’s not massive, but it’ll be rideable and tidy.
Things get a bit more serious Wednesday afternoon and into Thursday morning, with the swell jumping to 8ft. Wednesday afternoon has a solid 8ft south swell, with a clean cross-off breeze, and the energy is pumping at 1980. Thursday morning sees that same 8ft from the southwest, but now with a fresh 19 mph offshore wind. However, with that period dropping to 8 seconds, it’s a bit short-period and the conditions are marginal. That size is getting up there, so it’s really for the experienced crew only if they want a piece of it.
After that, the swell drops back down again. Friday the 17th through to the 21st sees a mix of smaller, weaker E and ESE swells in the 3ft to 5ft range, but the wind is all over the place – cross, cross-on, and onshore – so it’s mostly ordinary. There is a small window on Saturday afternoon, the 18th, with a 5ft east swell and light cross-off winds, offering some cleaner conditions, but it’s nothing to get too excited about.
The second week is pretty quiet. From the 22nd onward, we’re looking at tiny, weak swell in the 2ft to 2ft range with poor to ordinary conditions. There’s a tiny glimmer on Wednesday the 22nd morning with glassy conditions and a 3ft swell from the ENE, but it’s very small. Same again on Saturday the 25th morning with a clean, glassy 2ft. But honestly, for the experienced surfer, this stretch is one to skip.
So, the standout for the whole 16-day window is Wednesday morning, July 15th. That’s your best bet for a clean, manageable wave with a solid offshore wind. Just don’t expect much else outside of that.
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.
