The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's have a look at what's cookin' for Avoca Point over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: it's a pretty grim start. We’re lookin' at a real flat spell to kick things off. From now until the end of the first week of August, it's mostly tiny, weak, and messy. Monday the 3rd is a write-off with poor surf and a light cross-on breeze. Tuesday and Wednesday are barely a whisper, with waves around 1 ft. Not worth paddling out for. You could almost call it a drought.
There’s a slight flicker of life on Thursday the 6th with a small southerly pulse, but it's still only 3 ft and the conditions get chewed up in the arvo. Friday the 7th is similar—a touch better in the morning with clean 3 ft surf, but again, it’s not exactly setting the world on fire. Saturday the 8th offers a glassy morning with tiny 2 ft waves, which is about the best you're gonna get in this first week, but it’s pretty ordinary.
The first real standout, and honestly the best day on offer, is Friday the 14th of August. Now this is more like it. The morning is looking special with offshore winds from the WSW at 15 mph, grooming a solid 5 ft south swell. The wave energy is pumping hard—that's a serious step up in power. The water is about average for the time of year. It’s gonna be clean, lined up, and feeling like a proper winter swell. This one’s for the experienced crew—anything over 5 ft is getting a bit much for beginners.
Right behind it, Saturday the 15th is another cracker. A clean 6 ft south swell under light offshore SW breezes in the morning. More power, just a bit of texture creeping in by the afternoon. Sunday the 16th holds some decent 4 ft leftovers with clean offshore winds again. The middle of the second week looks like a solid run of southerly groundswell with good wind, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
So, the long and short of it: the first week is a total washout. Don't bother. Wait it out. The real action kicks in around Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th. That’s your window. Avoca Point will be handling that S swell nicely, and with clean offshores, it’ll be the best waves we’ve seen in a while.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
