Avoca Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Avoca Point.

First off, the water temp is sitting at 66°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no complaints there.

Honestly, the next few days are a bit of a write-off. Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th are seeing some solid swell – around 7ft to 8ft from the S – but the wind is a stiff cross-off at 19-22 mph, and the period is short at 8 seconds. The energy is there (567-992), but it’s messy and lumpy. Not good for a paddle. Friday the 17th drops right off to 3ft, and the conditions are poor. We’ve got a blank run from Wednesday right through to Saturday morning, with only marginal or poor surf.

Saturday the 18th is a little better, with a 4ft to 4ft E swell and a cross-off breeze, but it’s still small and the energy is low (215-284). It’s surfable, but nothing to get excited about.

Sunday the 19th brings a bigger E swell, 6ft to 7ft, and a period of 10 seconds. The wind is a gentle cross-shore, so there’s a bit of chop, but the energy is solid (858-920). It’s a better option if you’re keen.

Now, Monday the 20th is where things get interesting. The morning is glassy – a 3 mph NNW offshore breeze – with a 5ft E swell at 10 seconds. Combined energy is 643, and it’s clean. That’s your best early call. The afternoon goes onshore, so get it early.

Tuesday the 21st is a step down, with a 4ft E swell and cross-on winds, so it’s okay but not the standout.

Wednesday the 22nd morning is another glassy window, with a 4ft ENE swell, light offshore wind from the WNW, and energy of 273. It’s clean but small, so a good longboard option for someone.

The rest of the week from Thursday the 23rd to Saturday the 25th is mostly poor or very ordinary, with small swell (2ft to 3ft) and marginal conditions. One to skip.

Then we get a late pulse. Sunday the 26th looks like the real deal. Morning sees a 8ft S swell with a clean offshore wind from the SSW. The period is 10 seconds, and the energy is huge at 1956. That’s expert territory – over 8ft, so not for beginners. It’s for the experienced crew only. The afternoon holds a 8ft S swell, period stretching to 12 seconds, and energy at 2208, with a light cross-off breeze. That’s the standout of the whole forecast, but it’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it.

Monday the 27th is still solid, with a 5ft S swell, offshore wind, and a long 13-second period. Energy is 883. Clean, powerful, and good for experienced surfers.

Tuesday the 28th keeps the S swell at 6ft, with a 13 mph offshore wind in the morning, period at 11 seconds, and energy of 697. That’s a very good session for the intermediates.

After that, Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th drop off again, with smaller swell and onshore or cross-off winds, so it fades out.

Best on offer: Monday the 20th morning for the glassy, clean 5ft E swell, and Sunday the 26th for the big, powerful S swell – but that one’s for experts only.

Rusty.
