Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks at Avoca Point.
Water temp is about 67°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – not bad for a shorty or a spring suit.
Saturday morning, July 4th, is the kick-off. Clean conditions with a 4ft south swell, 11-second period, and the energy is weak at 370. It’s clean and fun, with a light cross-off breeze from the WNW. A nice little morning session, but not the highlight.
Sunday the 5th, the swell jumps to 10ft from the south, period at 11 seconds, and the energy is huge – 2166. But that’s way too big for Avoca Point. It’s a beach and point setup, and that much water will be a washing machine. Strong cross-off wind, but it’s more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle day.
The real standout is Tuesday morning, July 7th. You’ve got an 8ft SSE swell, 10-second period, and the energy is pumping at 1306. The wind is offshore from the SW, clean and moderate. This is the sweet spot – not too big for the point, but plenty of power to get you some proper waves. Heads-up, the crowds will be there, but it’s worth it.
The following week gets a bit messy. There’s a glassy moment on Friday the 10th – 7ft SSE swell, 11 seconds, and glassy wind. That’s a real gem for a weekday. But after that, the swell drops and the wind turns onshore. By the 13th, you’re looking at tiny, weak dribble.
Then, around Tuesday the 14th, the swell starts to build again. But it quickly gets too big – 12ft on the 15th and 16th, with strong offshore winds. That’s expert-only, and even then, it’s more about survival.
The 18th and 19th of July see another big pulse – 10ft to 12ft – with decent period. Again, it’s pushing the limits for Avoca Point. If you’re a charger, the Sunday morning of the 19th looks promising with a gentle offshore wind and a 12ft south swell. But it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
Best bet is Tuesday the 7th – that’s the one to lock in. Friday the 10th is a close second for a glassy session. The rest is either too small, too windy, or too big.
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.
