Avoca Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what Avoca Point has cooking over the next couple weeks.

Right off the bat, the first few days are pretty weak. Thursday and Friday mornings are showing small, messy waves and winds that just aren't working for us. Water temp is about normal for the season, nothing to write home about.

The first worthwhile session appears Friday morning, July 24th. We get a 5-foot south swell with a 10-second period, winds are offshore from the southwest at 9 mph, and the combined energy is in the moderate range. It’s clean, but not for beginners.

The big standout for the first week is Saturday morning, July 25th. The swell holds at 5 feet from the south, period up to 11 seconds, energy sits at 622 – that’s a good one. The wind is light from the west, so it’s glassy offshore. Clean, lined-up waves, but the size means it’s best for intermediate surfers or above. Crowds can show up *sometimes*, but it’s worth it.

Sunday morning the 26th is also a top pick: 5-foot south swell at 12 seconds, energy at 672 – the best of the run. Light offshore wind from the west-southwest keeps it pristine. That’s a real gem.

After that, Monday the 27th is smaller and less clean, then Tuesday and Wednesday (28th and 29th) are dead – tiny swell and strong southerly winds. Nothing to chase.

Now for the long-range. Thursday, July 30th, the model goes huge: 13-foot south swell at 12 seconds, combined energy over 7800. The wind is offshore from the southwest at 22 mph, so it’s clean, but this is for expert big-wave hunters only. Same for Friday, July 31st morning: 12-foot south-southeast swell at 10 seconds, offshore wind, 3916 energy. Massive and clean.

Saturday, August 1st morning is a step down but still heavy: 8-foot south-southeast swell, 11-second period, light offshore wind, energy 1381. Good for experienced rippers.

The best of the second week for a broader audience is Sunday, August 2nd morning. The swell drops to 5 feet from the southeast at 10 seconds, and the wind goes glassy from the west-southwest. Energy 537 – clean, fun, and manageable. A top morning to be out.

From there, the swells shrink back to small, short-period junk through the rest of the run. Not much else worth mentioning.

So, if you’re picking days, go for Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th of July for the best combo of size, clean wind, and good shape. The massive stuff on the 30th and 31st is for experts only. And if you want a glassy, more relaxed session, Sunday the 2nd of August morning is your pick.
