Avoca Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Alright, let’s have a look at Avoca Point. We’ve got a bit of a slow start on the cards, with clean but tiny surf through the first few days. We’re talking ankle-to-knee high stuff from the east and south, with weak energy readings around 33 to 64. Winds are a bit of a mixed bag early on, swinging from cross-off to light cross-onshore, so nothing to write home about.

The first real standout window kicks off on Tuesday, 11th August. Morning sets building to 5ft from the south with a 10-second period and a solid bump in energy up to 439. Winds are offshore out of the west, and it looks clean. By afternoon it goes glassy—dead calm—with 5ft south swell and energy still pumping at 419. That afternoon session is the pick of the early run: smooth faces, good shape, and you’ll have the place to yourself if you’re lucky.

Wednesday 12th drops off a bit, but Thursday 13th morning brings another highlight: 6ft from the south, period dropping to 9 seconds, but energy hits 547 and it’s clean with light offshore winds from the southwest. That’s a solid session for intermediates and above. The stretch from Tuesday to Thursday is where it’s at.

Things get interesting again the following weekend. Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th both have mornings with 6ft south swell—solid, consistent energy readings around 535 to 618. Saturday morning is the gem: clean, light cross-off breeze, and the swell’s got a bit of punch. Sunday morning is similar in size, but the rain showers might put some people off, and the wind gets a bit cross-shore by afternoon. If you’re a competent surfer and don’t mind a bit of drizzle, Saturday the 15th is the call.

Monday 17th drops back a touch, but Tuesday 18th morning has 5ft south-southeast swell, 568 energy, and clean offshore winds. That’s a worthy follow-up session. Wednesday 19th and Thursday 20th see the swell easing into the 3ft to 4ft range, still with clean morning windows.

Water temp’s around 65° to start, which is pretty normal for this time of year. No major surprises there.

Crowds can be an issue at Avoca Point sometimes, but with these early weekday slots, you might get lucky. A couple of those bigger days—especially the 6ft and 6ft ones—are pushing into expert territory, so if you’re a beginner, aim for the smaller cleaner windows early on or late in the run.

That’s the story. Rusty out.
