The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Avoca Point. It’s a bit of a waiting game, but there’s some clean surf in there if you’re keen.
Right off the bat, Sunday morning, August 30th is calling. Glassy conditions, a light N breeze, and a clean 3ft S swell with a 9-second period. The combined energy is moderate (216), and it’s going to be a real nice, tidy little session for an intermediate. Water temp is about average – nothing unusual.
Monday morning, August 31st, is a repeat – glassy, 3ft S swell. Good for a quick paddle before the wind shifts.
Then things go quiet. From Tuesday through to Saturday, September 6th, it’s mostly small, weak, and not worth the drive. The combined energy drops below 100 at times – just little bumpy waves.
Now, Wednesday morning, September 9th is the real deal. We’ve got a clean 4ft S swell, 10-second period, with a light SSW cross-off breeze. The combined energy is a solid 259. This is the best wave of the forecast – clean, punchy, and fun. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
The swell jumps to 8ft on Thursday the 10th, but the wind is onshore from the NE. That’s expert-only size, and it’s going to be a mess. The energy is very strong (1215), but the surface will be choppy. Not worth it for paddle surfing.
Friday the 11th morning is a good backup – 5ft S swell, clean cross-off wind. That’s a solid chest-to-shoulder high wave, clean enough for a good session. The combined energy is 375, so there’s some push.
After that, it’s a fade. The second week has small, weak swell, mostly onshore or glassy but tiny. By Monday the 14th, we’re back to 3ft ENE swell, glassy, but it’s a short period (7 seconds) and weak.
The standout is Wednesday morning, September 9th, with the clean 4ft S swell. The backup is Friday the 11th morning. The rest is a lot of waiting.

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.
