The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk feet and miles.
The surf window is open, but the wind is the wild card. We start with a solid southern swell Friday, July 24th.
Friday the 24th, Avoca Point (Avoca-Point) is showing a 5ft southerly groundswell at 9 seconds. Southwest wind offshore at 12 mph—that’s cleaning it right up. Moderate energy (474) means enough push, not a beast. Water temp is about 66°, right around normal for this time of year. Good start.
Saturday the 25th is the real standout, first light. Swell holds at 5ft from the south, period up to 11 seconds, energy jumps to 622. Winds are light cross-off from the WNW—so the faces will be smooth and lined up. That’s your morning target. Glassy wind arrives by afternoon, dropping swell a tick to 4ft but still clean. Not as much power, but still fun.
Sunday the 26th is almost a carbon copy: 5ft southerly swell at 11 seconds, 602 energy, clean offshore SW wind in the morning. Another prime window. The afternoon gets cross-shore, so stay early.
Monday the 27th: smaller, 4ft, 9-second period, glassy morning. Light west wind. It’ll be clean but mellow.
From Tuesday the 28th to Wednesday the 29th, the swell collapses—under 2ft most of that span, energy down in the double digits. Flat to near-flat for a couple days.
Thursday the 30th sees a short-period pulse kick back in—4ft but only 7 seconds, clean but weak.
Friday the 31st: 3ft south swell with 11-second period, 200 energy, offshore wind. Small but with some push.
Now the massive one: Sunday, August 2nd. This is expert territory. Forecast shows a 13ft to 15ft southerly swell at 12 seconds with energy over 4000. But the report says it’s predicted to be too big for this break. Not a place for the average surfer.
Monday, August 3rd: 8ft, offshore wind from the SSW at 12 mph, energy still high at 1168. Excellent for experienced surfers in the morning. Afternoon chop ruins it.
Thursday, August 6th and Friday, August 7th bring another big clean run—7ft and 7ft respectively, both with long period and offshore or clean wind. These are looking like serious sessions for experienced surfers, though it’s still two weeks out, so keep the forecast on watch.
Saturday, August 8th drops back to 4ft with offshore winds. Clean but way smaller.
Crowds at Avoca Point can get thick when it’s good. There’ll be some company around the best windows.
Overall: the absolute best bets are Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th mornings this coming weekend. Clean, decent-sized southerly groundswell.
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.
